In Drosophila melanogaster it is also involved in blue-light photoreception. For details on cryptochrome 4 see Cryptochrome 4. See also JMS/cryptochrome and Period circadian protein. Disease The absence of Cry resulting in the lack of functional clock system leads to elevated proinflammatory cytokine activation and thus to increase incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and also cancer. 3D Structures of cryptochrome Cryptochrome 3D structures
