About CRY2

Cytogenetic location: 11p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:45,847,118-45,883,244 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 24.1), brain (RPKM 22.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a flavin adenine dinucleotide-binding protein that is a key component of the circadian core oscillator complex, which regulates the circadian clock. This gene is upregulated by CLOCK/ARNTL heterodimers but then represses this upregulation in a feedback loop using PER/CRY heterodimers to interact with CLOCK/ARNTL. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with altered sleep patterns. The encoded protein is widely conserved across Plants and Animals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
