Background
Most organisms show circadian 24-h rhythmicity in their behavior and phsysiology. In mammals,biological clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), generates circadian rhythms in behaviourand physiology. These biological rhythms are adjusted daily to the environmental light/dark cycle via theretinohypothalamic tract (RHT). Three mammalian priod genes (per1, per2, and per3) that resemble theclock-regulating gene of Dorosophia melangaster, period (per ), have been cloned. Circadian clocks arealso located in peripheral tissues of mammals that are synchronized by the SCN. A molecular description ofthe mammalian circadian system has revealed that circadian oscillations may be a fundamental property ofmany cells in the body.The nuclear entry of the circadian regulator mPER1 is controlled by mammalian casein kinase Iepsilon. Thisantibody is useful tool to clarify molecular functions that regulate biological clock.
