Mammalian CLOCK( NPAS2), BMAL1 and CRYPTOCHROMEs are core components of the circadian oscillatory mechanism. The active CLOCK/ BMAL1 or NPAS2/ BMAL1 complexes regulate expression of numerous genes including two Cryptochromes. The products of these genes, CRY1 and CRY2, in turn repress CLOCK/ BMAL1 transcriptional activity by an unknown mechanism.
