Mutation Description "We next examined Mtnr1a and Mtnr1b genes, which are the receptors responsible for transducing melatonin signalling. Here, we did not detect Mtnr1a-like sequences in Odontoceti genomes. Comparative synteny analysis revealed that Fat1 and F11, which are adjacent to Mtnr1a in human and cow, are also side-by-side in Odontoceti (Figure 3)." 10.3390/genes10020121
