cryptochrome protein (cry)

KL 001 is a Cryptochrome protein (CRY) stabilizer. KL001 prevented ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CRY, resulting in lengthening of the circadian period. KL001-mediated CRY stabilization inhibited glucagon-induced gluconeogenesis in primary hepatocytes. KL001 thus provides a tool to study the regulation of CRY-dependent physiology and aid development of clock-based therapeutics of diabetes.

KL044 is a cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) activator that prolongs circadian rhythms and inhibits PER2 activity. KL044 inhibits melanogenesis by inhibiting the cAMP PKA CREB pathway.

CLK8 is a selective CLOCK inhibitor that binds to and interferes with CLOCK activity, disrupts the interaction between CLOCK and BMAL1, and modulates circadian rhythm amplitude.CLK8 can be used to study circadian rhythm-related disorders.
