Gene information for CLOCK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9575
Official gene symbolCLOCK
Full nameclock homolog (mouse)
Aliases,KAT13D,KIAA0334,bHLHe8,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors. Polymorphisms within the encoded protein have been associated with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. A similar protein in mice is a circadian regulator that acts as a transcription factor and forms a heterodimer with aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like to activate transcription of mouse period 1.
