Invited Review: Regulation of mammalian circadian clock genes
How genes control the daily biological clock in mammals
AI simplified
Abstract
The circadian clock operates on an approximately 24-hour cycle and regulates various physiological and behavioral systems.
- Circadian rhythms are generated by periodic activation of specific clock genes.
- Clock genes are involved in regulating not only their own expression but also other biochemical processes.
- Recent advances in genetics and molecular biology have improved the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the circadian clock in mammals.
