Abstract excerpt
NPAS2 (MOP4) is a heme-containing sensor transcription factor responsive to a wide range of intra- and extracellular stimuli, which also functions as a circadian transcription factor. This molecule forms a heterodimer with another circadian transcription factor, BMAL1, and activates transcription via E-box elements, indicating that circadian phase synchronization between NPAS2 and BMAL1 expression is important...
