Hi !!!
could anyone pl. suggest if melatonin gene is sequenced yet.. or if not why??? Thanks

depends on the species.

Hi ... thanks !!!
I was looking for Human melotonin gene sequence

Can someone pl. let me know about the sequence of human melotonin gene or in any phototrophic bacteria

black, white, grey

different colors, same mind

I can only see sequences of melatonin receptors on pubmed.

thank u.. how to interpret it.. what cud be the possible reason why its not found yet.. is that like a cluster of genes which synthesizes melatonin or????

There is no gene for melatonin because it is not a protein.

Melatonin is produced from a precursor (tryptophan) by the enzyme 5-hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (for which there will be a gene).
