UniProt functional annotation for P49286

UniProt code: P49286.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: High affinity receptor for melatonin. Likely to mediate the reproductive and circadian actions of melatonin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity.
 
Subunit: Interacts with GPR61, GPR62 and GPR135 (PubMed:28827538). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28827538}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in retina and less in brain and hippocampus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7568007}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
