The melatonin receptors consist of proteins around 40 kDa each. The MT 1 receptor encodes 350 amino acids and the MT 2 encodes 362 amino acids. The binding of melatonin and its analogues is now understood through X-ray crystal structures published in 2019. [17] The binding space for melatonin and analogues on the MT 1 receptor is smaller than ...
