Product Description
MT2 (Melatonin Receptor 1B, MTNR1B) is one of the two primary high-affinity G protein-coupled receptors for melatonin, co-mediating melatonin signaling with MT1. It is mainly distributed in the retina, suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain, and peripheral tissues such as pancreatic islet β-cells. Its core functions include participating in dark-adaptation signal transmission in the retina and acting as a “circadian fine-tuner” in the central nervous system, regulating sleep onset and body temperature decline via Gi/o protein pathways. Peripherally, it directly inhibits insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, contributing to glucose homeostasis. Genetic polymorphisms of this receptor are significantly associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes, highlighting its role as a key molecule linking the circadian clock to metabolic regulation.
Screeningbio’s CHO-K1/Rat MT2 cell line overexpress Rat MTNR1B and is designed to detect inhibition in intracellular cAMP levels in response to agonist stimulation of the receptor. Cisbio HTRF cAMP kit can be used to detect the signal.
