Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circadian regulation of gene expression; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and locomotor rhythm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in heart; liver; muscle; nervous system; and ovary. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in advanced sleep phase syndrome; advanced sleep phase syndrome 1; alcohol dependence; cocaine dependence; and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human PER2 (period circadian regulator 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
