ARNTL, BHLHE5, BMAL1, MOP3, PASD3, Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1, Basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS protein MOP3, Brain and muscle ARNT-like 1Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 5, bHLHe5, Member of PAS protein 3, PAS domain-containing protein 3, bHLH-PAS protein JAP3
The cellular circadian clockwork consists of interwoven positive and negative regulatory loops, or limbs (1,2). The positive limb includes the CLOCK and BMAL1 proteins, two basic helix-loop-helix-PAS containing transcription factors that bind E box enhancer elements and activate transcription of their target genes.
