Gene Summary

Enables FAD binding activity and blue light photoreceptor activity. Involved in several processes, including blue light signaling pathway; detection of light stimulus; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule; adult head; digestive system; nervous system; and ventral midline of embryo. 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).
