Melatonin distribution reveals clues to its biological significance in basal metazoans.
Although nearly ubiquitous in nature, the precise biological significance of endogenous melatonin is poorly understood in phylogenetically basal taxa. In the present work, we describe insights into the functional role of melatonin at the most "basal" level of metazoan evolution. Hitherto u...
