Melatonin receptor 1B

Melatonin receptor 1B, also known as MTNR1B, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MTNR1B gene.[5][6]

Function

This gene encodes the MT2 protein, one of two high-affinity forms of a receptor for melatonin, the primary hormone secreted by the pineal gland. This gene product is an integral membrane protein that is a G-protein coupled, 7-transmembrane receptor. It is found primarily in the retina and brain; however, this detection requires RT-PCR. It is thought to participate in light-dependent functions in the retina and may be involved in the neurobiological effects of melatonin.[5] Besides the brain and retina this receptor is expressed on the bone forming cells where it regulates their function in depositing bone.[7]

Clinical significance

Several studies have identified MTNR1B receptor mutations that are associated with increased average blood sugar level and around a 20 percent elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes.[8][9][10] MTNR1B mRNA is expressed in human islets, and immunocytochemistry confirms that it is primarily localized in beta cells in islets.[9]

Ligands

The following MT2R ligands have selectivity over MT1R:

  • Compound 3d: antagonist with sub-nM affinity[11]
  • Compound 18f: antagonist and compound 18g partial agonist: sub-nM affinity, >100-fold selectivity over MT1[12]
  • Compound 14: antagonist[13]
  • Compound 13: agonist[14]
