GlossaryBMAL1 (ARNTL)

regulates circadian rhythms and influences biological processes like sleep

BMAL1, also known as Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like 1, is a crucial protein that plays a significant role in regulating the body's circadian rhythms, which are the natural cycles of physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. It forms a complex with another protein called CLOCK, and together they help control the expression of genes that influence various biological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, metabolism, and even hair growth.
