An increase in PER leads to shortening of the circadian rhythms and its decrease leads to lengthening of it. Disease Disturbances in the expression of PER1, PER2 and PER3 is seen in most breast cancerous cells and is probably due to methylation of their promoter[1]. Structural highlights There are numerous interactions between PER and cryptochrome. The and by the [2]. . Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
