• Function: Likely to mediate the reproductive and circadian actions of melatonin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity. High affinity receptor for melatonin.
• Reactome Pathway:
  G alpha (i) signalling events (R-HSA-418594)
  Class A/1 (Rhodopsin-like receptors) (R-HSA-373076)
