Comments | – | GPR50 is structurally related to MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors, with which it heterodimerises constitutively and specifically [1089]. Gpr50 knockout mice display abnormal thermoregulation and are much more likely than wild‐type mice to enter fasting‐induced torpor [111]. | First small molecule agonist reported [1703]. | GPR61 deficient mice exhibit obesity associated with hyperphagia [1363]. Although no endogenous ligands have been identified, 5‐(nonyloxy)tryptamine has been reported to be a low affinity inverse agonist [1852]. |
