CRY2 - cryptochrome circadian regulator 2 Gene

Species: Bos taurus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 509058

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. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
