[edit] Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

High affinity receptor for melatonin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins that inhibits adenylate cyclase activity (By similarity).
