| NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; FAD binding activity; and deoxyribodipyrimidine photo-lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in circadian regulation of gene expression and entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior endoderm anlage; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; endoderm; and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in advanced sleep phase syndrome. Orthologous to human CRY1 (cryptochrome circadian regulator 1) and CRY2 (cryptochrome circadian regulator 2).
