Gene: NOCT

Alternate names for this Gene: CCR4L|CCRN4L|Ccr4c|NOC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Nocturnin, a gene identified as a circadian clock regulated gene in Xenopus laevis. This protein and Nocturnin protein share similarity with the C-terminal domain of a yeast transcription factor, carbon catabolite repression 4 (CCR4). The mRNA abundance of a similar gene in mouse has been shown to exhibit circadian rhythmicity, which suggests a role for this protein in clock function or as a circadian clock effector.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q31.1

Description of this Gene: nocturnin

Type of Gene: protein-coding
