Fig. 6. A Model of REGγ-dependent regulation of circadian rhythms.

Fig. 6

In mammalian cells, REGγ promotes rapid degradation of circadian transcription factor BMAL1 to attenuate the expression of circadian core genes, thus in mice, the downregulated circadian clock causes defect in circadian entrainment and disturbed circadian rhythms. However, mice having deficiency of REGγ display short circadian period, efficient response to re-entrainment, and steady circadian behavior.
