NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the Period family of genes and is expressed in a circadian pattern in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the primary circadian pacemaker in the mammalian brain. Genes in this family encode components of the circadian rhythms of locomotor activity, metabolism, and behavior. Circadian expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus continues in constant darkness, and a shift in the light/dark cycle evokes a proportional shift of gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The specific function of this gene is not yet known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Function: Component of the circadian clock mechanism which is essential for generating circadian rhythms. Negative element in the circadian transcriptional loop. Influences clock function by interacting with other circadian regulatory proteins and transporting them to the nucleus. Negatively regulates CLOCK|NPAS2-BMAL1|BMAL2-induced transactivation
By similarity.
Subunit structure: Homodimer. Component of the circadian core oscillator, which includes the CRY proteins, CLOCK or NPAS2, BMAL1 or BMAL2, CSNK1D and/or CSNK1E, TIMELESS, and the PER proteins. Interacts directly with PER1 and PER3, and through a C-terminal domain, with CRY1 and CRY2. Interaction with CSNK1D or CSNK1E promotes nuclear location of PER proteins. Interacts, via its second PAS domain, with TIMELESS in vitro. Interacts with NFIL3
By similarity. Interacts with PML
By similarity. Ref.2 Ref.11
Subcellular location: Nucleus
By similarity. Cytoplasm
By similarity. Cytoplasm › perinuclear region
By similarity. Note: Mainly nuclear. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling is effected by interaction with other circadian core oscillator proteins and/or by phosphorylation. Retention of PER1 in the cytoplasm occurs through PER1-PER2 heterodimer formation or by interaction with CSNK1E and/or phosphorylation which appears to mask the PER nuclear localization signal. Also translocated to the nucleus by CRY1 or CRY2
By similarity. PML regulates its nuclear localization
By similarity.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Found in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. High levels in skeletal muscle and pancreas. Low level in lung. Ref.8
Induction: Serum-induced levels in fibroblasts show circadian oscillations. Maximum levels after 1 hour stimulation, minimum levels after 12 hours. Another peak is then observed after 24 hours. Ref.9
Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated by CSNK1E and CSNK1D. Phosphorylation results in PER2 protein degradation. Ref.2 Ref.11
Involvement in disease: Advanced sleep phase syndrome, familial, 1 (FASPS1) [MIM:604348]: A disorder characterized by very early sleep onset and offset. Individuals are 'morning larks' with a 4 hours advance of the sleep, temperature and melatonin rhythms.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Sequence similarities: Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.Contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains.
Sequence caution: The sequence BAA20804.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

Product Notes
The PER2 per2 (Catalog #AAA126915) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Per2 reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Per2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500 - 1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PER2 per2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Per2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
