Abstract in brief

  • Melatonin is a versatile neurohormone derived from tryptophan that influences many biological processes and interacts with over 15 proteins, including receptors, enzymes, pores, and transporters.
  • Its effects are believed to arise either from its chemical ability to neutralize free radicals or through its binding to specific protein targets, with proposed interactions occurring across a wide range of melatonin concentrations.
  • This review consolidates existing research on melatonin's protein targets to assess the reliability and significance of these interactions, considering the methods used, physiological relevance, and whether findings have been independently confirmed.
