Descriptor English: Receptors, Melatonin
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de Melatonina
Descriptor receptores de melatonina
Scope note: Familia de receptores acoplados a una proteína-G, que son específicos para la MELATONINA, mediando en sus efectos. La activación de los receptores de melatonina se ha asociado con una disminución intracelular del AMP CÍCLICO y un incremento de la hidrólisis de los FOSFOINOSÍTIDOS.
