Vertebrate Cryptochromes are Vestigial Flavoproteins.

Scientific reports - 20 Mar 2017

Abstract excerpt

All cryptochromes are currently classified as flavoproteins. In animals their best-described role is as components of the circadian clock. This circadian function is variable, and can be either light-dependent or -independent; the molecular origin of this difference is unknown. Type I animal cryptochromes are photoreceptors that entrain an organism's clock to its environment, whereas Type II (including mammals)...
