摘要
The chick retinal melatonin receptor was localized to the inner plexiform layer using 2-125I-melatonin and in vitro autoradiographic techniques. This receptor was of high affinity (Kd19.8 pM) and specificity and showed guanine nucleotide modulation of agonist binding . It thus behaves similarly to other recently characterized high affinity melatonin receptors. © 1990.
