International audience. For many years, it was of interest to identify the sequences encoding the two melatonin receptors (MT₁ and MT₂) from various species. After publishing the basic molecular characterization of the human, rat, mouse, sheep, and platypus MT₁, MT₂, or Mel1c receptors, we began cloning the genes from other animals, such as birds, bats, and vipers. The goal was to advance the receptor crystallization, which could greatly contribute the understanding of the sequence/stability relationship. European hamster MT₁ receptor was cloned for the first time from this gender, was expressed in stable form in cells, and its binding characterized with a sample of 19 melatonin ligands.
