Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Genetics
  • Endocrinology

Context:

  • Melatonin is a key hormone regulating circadian rhythms and reproductive functions.
  • Melatonin exerts its effects via specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of melatonin receptors and their associated genes.
  • To explore the structure, function, regulation, and genetic aspects of melatonin receptors.
  • To discuss the relationship between melatonin receptor genes and seasonal reproduction.

Summary:

  • This review covers the structure, function, and regulation of melatonin receptors.
  • It details the cloning, structure, developmental expression, mapping, and polymorphism of the melatonin receptor gene.
  • The review also examines the connection between the melatonin receptor gene and reproductive seasonality.

Impact:

  • Enhances understanding of melatonin signaling pathways.
  • Provides insights into the genetic basis of reproductive seasonality.
  • Serves as a reference for researchers in endocrinology, pharmacology, and genetics.
