Abstract excerpt
Circadian rhythms are regulated by clock proteins through post-translational modifications. Indeed, Casein kinase I epsilon (CKIvarepsilon) promotes reversible phosphorylation of PER proteins, and a deficiency in this phosphorylation has been implicated in human sleep disorders. Here, we investigated the CKIvarepsilon S408N polymorphism in a Brazilian population sample. The N408 allele was previously described to...
