Mtnr1b - melatonin receptor 1B

Predicted to enable melatonin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cGMP-mediated signaling; negative regulation of transport; and regulation of transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to act upstream of or within circadian rhythm. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; eye; gut; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MTNR1B (melatonin receptor 1B).
