    GlossaryMelatonin Receptor 1

    regulates sleep-wake cycles by binding to melatonin

    Melatonin Receptor 1 (MT1) is a protein found in various tissues in the body that binds to melatonin, a hormone primarily released by the pineal gland that regulates sleep-wake cycles. This receptor plays a crucial role in mediating the effects of melatonin on circadian rhythms and seasonal biological processes.

      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
