MeSH definition : Flavoproteins that function as circadian rhythm signaling proteins in ANIMALS and
as blue-light photoreceptors in PLANTS. They are structurally-related to DNA PHOTOLYASES
and it is believed that both classes of proteins may have originated from an earlier
protein that played a role in protecting primitive organisms from the cyclical exposure
to UV LIGHT.;
