While classified as a member of the melatonin receptor family and also known as melatonin-related receptor, GPR50 does not bind melatonin (1). GPR50 forms heterodimers with MT1 and MT2 and acts as a negative regulator of MT1 agonist binding and G protein coupling; inhibition of melatonin receptor activity is dependent on the long, proline-rich carboxy terminal tail of GPR50 (2). On a physiological level, GPR50 is involved in the regulation of adaptive thermoregulation in mammals and deletion of in mice produces a profound effect on the response to fasting and facilitates entry into torpor (3). Polymorphisms in the corresponding gene are associated with bipolar affective disorder and major depressive disorder in women, indicating that variation in may be an important gender-specific risk factor for certain mental disorders (4,5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nG protein-coupled receptor 50; GPR50; H9; Mel1c; Melatonin-related receptor; MGC125342; MTR1L\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 70-75\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797603700905,"sku":"14032S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-14032s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
