Abstract

Rev-erbalpha mRNA is most highly expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the mouse brain.

  • Positive signals of Rev-erbalpha mRNA were detected widely throughout the mouse brain.
  • In the SCN, Rev-erbalpha mRNA expression peaked at early daytime (CT4) and was lowest at early night time (CT16).
  • Circadian expression profiles of Rev-erbalpha mRNA remained unchanged under constant dark conditions.
  • Exposure to different light-dark conditions did not affect the expression patterns of Rev-erbalpha.
