Melatonin distribution reveals clues to its biological significance in basal metazoans.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although nearly ubiquitous in nature, the precise biological significance of endogenous melatonin is poorly understood in phylogenetically basal taxa.

Melatonin Receptor Genes in Vertebrates [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Melatonin receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Three genes for melatonin receptors have been cloned. The MT1 (or Mel1a or MTNR1A) and MT2 (or Mel1b or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals, while an additional melatonin receptor subtype, Mel1c (or MTNR1C), has been identified in fish ...

Insight of Melatonin: The Potential of Melatonin to Treat Bacteria-Induced Mastitis
Antioxidants, 2022 Bovine mastitis is a common inflammatory disease, mainly induced by bacterial pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae. Mastitis has negative effects on the production and quality of milk, resulting in huge

Structural insights into melatonin receptors [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2019 The long‐anticipated high‐resolution structures of the human melatonin G protein‐coupled receptors MT1 and MT2, involved in establishing and maintaining circadian rhythm, were obtained in complex with two melatonin analogs and two approved anti‐insomnia and antidepression drugs using X‐ray free‐electron laser serial femtosecond crystallography.
