tim gene

This indicates that lack of cycle leads to decreased transcription of per and tim genes.

The TIM gene family was first cloned from the mouse model of asthma in 2001.

The localization and functions of TIM genes are divergent between each member.

TIM genes also involved in host-virus interaction.

Subsequently it was demonstrated that members of the TIM gene family including TIM-1 participate in host immune response.

The heterodimer creates a transcription-translation feedback loop that controls the levels of both the PER and TIM gene.

Timeless- The tim gene encodes for the TIM protein that is critical in circadian regulation in Drosophila.

TIM genes belong to type I cell-surface glycoproteins, which include an N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, a mucin domain with distinct length, a single transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal short cytoplasmic tail.

This ends the PER/TIM repression of the CLK/CYC-mediated transcription of per and tim genes, allowing per and tim mRNA to be produced to restart the cycle.
