Circadian clocks: A cry in the dark?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Cryptochrome proteins are key components of the circadian systems of both Drosophila and mammals. In Drosophila, they appear to be responsible for the entrainment of the circadian clock by the light-dark cycle, while in mammals they perform an important role in rhythm generation itself.
