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.
