REGγ regulates circadian clock by modulating BMAL1 protein stability

Abstract Endogenous clocks generate rhythms in gene expression, which facilitates the organisms to cope through periodic environmental variations in accordance with 24-h light/dark time. A core question that needs to be elucidated is how such rhythms proliferate throughout the cells and regulate the...
