Melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) which bind melatonin. [1] Three types of melatonin receptors have been cloned.The MT 1 (or Mel 1A or MTNR1A) and MT 2 (or Mel 1B or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals, [2] while an additional melatonin receptor subtype MT 3 (or Mel 1C or MTNR1C) has been identified in amphibia and birds. [3]
The melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and are expressed in various tissues of the body. There are two subtypes of the receptor in humans, melatonin receptor 1 (MT 1) and melatonin receptor 2 (MT 2). [2] Melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists, on market or in clinical trials, all bind to and activate both receptor types. [1]
Four meta analyses on receptor binding in depression have been performed, two on serotonin transporter (5-HTT), one on 5-HT 1A, and another on dopamine transporter (DAT). One meta analysis on 5-HTT reported that binding was reduced in the midbrain and amygdala , with the former correlating with greater age, and the latter correlating with ...
Agomelatine acts as a highly potent and selective melatonin MT 1 and MT 2 receptor agonist (K i = 0.1 nM and 0.12 nM, respectively) and also as a relatively weak serotonin 5-HT 2B and 5-HT 2C receptor antagonist (K i = 660 nM and 631 nM, respectively; ~6,000-fold lower than for the melatonin receptors).
The pharmacology of antidepressants is not entirely clear.. The earliest and probably most widely accepted scientific theory of antidepressant action is the monoamine hypothesis (which can be traced back to the 1950s), which states that depression is due to an imbalance (most often a deficiency) of the monoamine neurotransmitters (namely serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine).

D 2 Receptor: Hyperactive dopaminergic activity on D 2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathway is responsible for the positive symptoms of schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, paranoia). After taking an antipsychotic, antagonism of D 2 receptors occurs throughout the entire brain, leading to a number of deleterious side effects from D 2 ...
