ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel member of the blue-light photoreceptor family of receptors. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human hCRY2 receptor. hCRY2 polypeptides are also provided as are vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant methods for producing the same.
