Abstract
Membrane fractions of the testis of Japanese quail were shown to possess properties of receptor for melatonin, such as binding specificity, saturation, reversibility, high affinity and limited capacity. The equilibrium dissociation constant was smaller (the binding affinity was higher) at middark than at midlight. The results suggest that there exists a melatonin receptor in the testis of the quail and its binding may change between light and dark periods.
