Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been developed to stably overexpress human MT1 on their surface. These cells contain high levels of the G protein Gαi, which is crucial for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Drug screening and biological assays
Melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A), also known as MT1, is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds melatonin, a hormone involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms and sleep.
