Basic Helix-Loop-Helix ARNT-Like Protein 1NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Basic Helix-Loop-Helix ARNT-Like Protein 1;
NCIt synonyms : PAS Domain-Containing Protein 3; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 5; Member of PAS Superfamily 3; bHLHe5; Member of PAS Protein 3; BHLH-PAS Protein JAP3; Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like 1; Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like Protein 1; Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix-PAS Protein MOP3; ARNTL; BMAL1B; BMAL1; Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator-Like Protein 1; Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator-Like Protein;
NCIt definition : Basic helix-loop-helix ARNT-like protein 1 (626 aa, 69 kDa) is encoded by the human
BMAL1 gene. This protein is involved in the activation of gene transcription that
mediates circadian rhythm.;
NCIt note : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 forms a heterodimer
with circadian locomoter output cycles protein kaput; the heterodimer can bind to
E-box enhancer elements (5'-CACGTG-3'). The interaction of the heterodimeric complex
with cryptochrome or period family transcriptional repressors inhibits the ability
of the heterodimer to activate gene transcription. (UniProt); UniProt considers the BMAL1B form of basic helix-loop-helix ARNT-like protein 1 the
canonical form.;
