Revealing Melatonin’s Mysteries: Receptors, signaling pathways, and therapeutics applications
2023-06-27
Abstract excerpt
Melatonin (5-methoxy-acetyl tryptamine) sleep-inducing hormone, and the pineal gland produces it in response to the circadian clock of darkness. In the body, MT1 and MT2 receptors are mostly found, having an orthosteric pocket and ligand binding determinants. Melatonin acts by binding on melatonin receptors, intracellular proteins, and orphan nuclear receptors. It inhibits adenyl cyclase and activates phospholipas...
