Background: Melatonin Receptor 1B

Melatonin receptor type 1B (MTNR1B) is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. This family is responsible for translating external chemical signals across the cell membrane. MTNR1B is one of two high affinity receptors for melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland. Pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins, that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity, control the MTNR1B receptor. MTNR1B is expressed in the retina, and to a lesser extent the brain and hippocampus. MTNR1B is thought to regulate reproduction, the circadian cycle, and neurological melatonin levels; as well as participate in light dependent function in the retina. Post translational modifications that may affect MTNR1B are disulfide bonds and glycosylation.

FAQs for Melatonin Receptor 1B Antibody [FITC]

Showing  1 - 1 of 1 FAQ Showing All

  • Q: I saw that you have the antibodies for the both receptors of melatonin but not listed with FACS application. I need more information about what is better for my assay.

    A: At this time, none of our melatonin receptor antibodies have been tested and validated in Flow. Should you choose to purchase and test one of them, you would qualify for the Innovator's Rewards program. You should take a look at each individual antibody, the clonality, conjugates, immunogen region and all relevant data in order to decide which product would be most suitable for your needs.
