Melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) which bind melatonin. [1] Three types of melatonin receptors have been cloned.The MT 1 (or Mel 1A or MTNR1A) and MT 2 (or Mel 1B or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals, [2] while an additional melatonin receptor subtype MT 3 (or Mel 1C or MTNR1C) has been identified in amphibia and birds.

The following is a list of hormones found in Humans. Spelling is not uniform for many hormones. For example, current North American and international usage uses [citation needed] estrogen and gonadotropin, while British usage retains the Greek digraph in oestrogen and favours the earlier spelling gonadotrophin.
The melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and are expressed in various tissues of the body. There are two subtypes of the receptor in humans, melatonin receptor 1 (MT 1) and melatonin receptor 2 (MT 2). [2] Melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists, on market or in clinical trials, all bind to and activate both receptor types. [1]

Stimulation of the melanocortin-4 receptor causes a decrease in appetite and an increase in metabolism of fat and lean body mass, even in a relatively starved state. [21] Conversely, damage to this receptor has been shown to result in morbid obesity, and is the most commonly known cause of monogenic morbid obesity. [ 22 ]
It is the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin synthesis controlling the night/day rhythm in melatonin production in the vertebrate pineal gland. Melatonin is essential for seasonal reproduction, modulates the function of the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and influences activity and sleep. Due to its important role in circadian ...
N-Acetylserotonin (NAS), also known as normelatonin, is a naturally occurring chemical intermediate in the endogenous production of melatonin from serotonin. [1] [2] It also has biological activity in its own right, including acting as a melatonin receptor agonist, an agonist of the TrkB, and having antioxidant effects.
