Circadian Locomoter Output Cycles Protein KaputNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Circadian Locomoter Output Cycles Protein Kaput;
NCIt synonyms : Circadian Locomoter Output Cycles Kaput Protein; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 8; EC 2.3.1.48; hCLOCK; Clock Homolog; CLOCK; bHLHe8;
NCIt definition : Circadian locomoter output cycles protein kaput (846 aa, 95 kDa) is encoded by the
human CLOCK gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of histone acetylation
that regulates both gene expression and circadian rhythms.;
NCIt note : Circadian locomoter output cycles protein kaput forms a heterodimer with either aryl
hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 or 2; the heterodimer can
bind to E-box enhancer elements (5'-CACGTG-3'). The interaction of the heterodimeric
complex with cryptochrome or period family transcriptional repressor proteins inhibits
the ability of the heterodimer to activate gene transcription. (UniProt);
