MTNR1B ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein melatonin receptor 1B, which is encoded by the MTNR1B gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a high affinity receptor for melatonin. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 362 residues, a mass of 40.2 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in retina and less in the brain and hippocampus. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include MEL-1B-R, MT2, melatonin receptor type 1B, mel1b receptor, melatonin receptor MEL1B, and FGQTL2.
The detection range for different MTNR1B ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 62.5 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
