Abstract excerpt
Recent progress in molecular chronobiology revealed that the clock genes control intracellular feedback loops. CLOCK protein and BMAL1 protein, first discovered as components of the circadian clock in mammals, are known to function as transcriptional activators in the circadian feedback loop of drosophila. PERIOD and TIMELESS proteins work as inhibitors for these activators in drosophila and possibly in mammals....
