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

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

Ligands

The following MT2R ligands have selectivity over MT1R:
