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.

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]
It is posited that any beneficial immunological impact is attributable to melatonin's action on high-affinity receptors (MT1 and MT2), which are present on immunocompetent cells. Preclinical investigations suggest that melatonin may augment cytokine production and promote the expansion of T cells , [ 29 ] thereby potentially mitigating acquired ...
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).

A sensory map is an area of the brain which responds to sensory stimulation, and are spatially organized according to some feature of the sensory stimulation. In some cases the sensory map is simply a topographic representation of a sensory surface such as the skin, cochlea, or retina. In other cases it represents other stimulus properties ...
