Beschreibung

N-Acetyl-5-Benzyloxytryptamine is a moiety of melatonin, which is a hormone that regulates circadian rhythms. N-Acetyl-5-Benzyloxytryptamine binds to the receptor for melatonin, which is a protein coupled to the membrane. This binding activates the receptor and causes it to open in response to calcium ions entering the cell. The opening of this receptor leads to an increase in cyclic AMP, which then initiates protein synthesis. The activation of this receptor by N-Acetyl-5-Benzyloxytryptamine has been shown to be specific and not due to secondary interactions with other proteins.
