gene involved in regulating the body's internal clock

CRY1 stands for Cryptochrome Circadian Regulator 1, a gene that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the circadian rhythms, which are the body's internal clock mechanisms that control sleep-wake cycles and other physiological processes. It encodes a protein that helps to maintain the 24-hour cycle by interacting with other clock proteins to regulate the expression of various genes. This gene is significant in both sleep disorders and certain metabolic conditions.
