关于 NOCT

功能概要

该基因编码的蛋白质与 Nocturnin 高度相似，Nocturnin 是非洲爪蟾中被鉴定为生物钟调节基因的基因。这种蛋白质和 Nocturnin 蛋白质与酵母转录因子碳分解代谢物抑制 4 (CCR4) 的 C 末端结构域具有相似性。小鼠中相似基因的 mRNA 丰度已显示出昼夜节律性，这表明该蛋白质在时钟功能或作为生物钟效应器中的作用。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Nocturnin, a gene identified as a circadian clock regulated gene in Xenopus laevis. This protein and Nocturnin protein share similarity with the C-terminal domain of a yeast transcription factor, carbon catabolite repression 4 (CCR4). The mRNA abundance of a similar gene in mouse has been shown to exhibit circadian rhythmicity, which suggests a role for this protein in clock function or as a circadian clock effector.
