We have cloned and characterized the mouse cDNA of a third mammalian homolog of the
Drosophila period gene and designated it mPer3. The mPER3 protein shows ∼37% amino …

The brain receives sensory input from diverse peripheral tissues, including the skin, the
body's largest sensory organ. Using genetically encoded axonal tracers expressed from the …

We determined that two mouse cryptochrome genes, mCry1 and mCry2, act in the negative
limb of the clock feedback loop. In cell lines, mPER proteins (alone or in combination) have …

Topoisomerases are expressed throughout the developing and adult brain and are mutated
in some individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, how topoisomerases …

Thiamine monophosphatase (TMPase, also known as fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase)
is a classic histochemical marker of small-diameter dorsal root ganglia neurons. The …

We examined the transcriptional regulation of the clock-controlled arginine vasopressin gene
in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). A core clock mechanism in mouse SCN appears to …

We have characterized a mammalian homolog of the Drosophila period gene and designated
it Per2. The PER2 protein shows >40% amino acid identity to the protein of another …

The Mas-related genes (Mrgs) comprise a family of >50 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs),
many of which are expressed in specific subsets of nociceptive sensory neurons in mice. …

We cloned the mouse cDNA of a mammalian homolog of the Drosophila timeless (tim) gene
and designated it mTim. The mTim protein shows five homologous regions with Drosophila …

In vertebrates, peripheral chemosensory neurons express large families of G protein-coupled
receptors (GPCRs), reflecting the diversity and specificity of stimuli they detect. However, …
