Abstract

The period (per) gene, controlling circadian rhythms in Drosophila, is expressed throughout the body in a circadian manner. A homolog of Drosophila per was isolated from rat and designated as rPer2. The rPER2 protein showed 39 and 95% amino acid identity with mPER1 and mPER2 (mouse homologs of per) proteins, respectively. A robust circadian fluctuation of rPer2 mRNA expression was discovered not only in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus but also in other tissues including eye, brain, heart, lung, spleen, liver, and kidney. Furthermore, the peripheral circadian expression of rPer2 mRNA was abolished in SCN-lesioned rats that showed behavioral arrhythmicity. These findings suggest that the multitissue circadian expression of rPer2 mRNA was governed by the mammalian brain clock SCN and also suggest that the rPer2 gene was involved in the circadian rhythm of locomotor behavior in mammals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
