Night-migratory songbirds possess a magnetic compass in both eyes [PDF]
, 2012 Previous studies on European robins, Erithacus rubecula, and Australian silvereyes, Zosterops lateralis, had suggested that magnetic compass information is being processed only in the right eye and left brain hemisphere of migratory birds.

Cryptochromes in mammals: a magnetoreception misconception?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Cryptochromes are flavoproteins related to photolyases that are widespread throughout the plant and animal kingdom. They govern blue light-dependent growth in plants, control circadian rhythms in a light-dependent manner in invertebrates, and play a ...

Human and Drosophila cryptochromes are light activated by flavin photoreduction in living cells. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 Cryptochromes are a class of flavoprotein blue-light signaling receptors found in plants, animals, and humans that control plant development and the entrainment of circadian rhythms.

The structural and functional roles of the flavin cofactor FAD in mammalian cryptochromes
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 The importance of circadian rhythms in human health and disease calls for a thorough understanding of the underlying molecular machinery, including its key components, the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-containing flavoproteins cryptochrome 1 and 2 ...

The Potorous CPD photolyase rescues a cryptochrome-deficient mammalian circadian clock. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Despite the sequence and structural conservation between cryptochromes and photolyases, members of the cryptochrome/photolyase (flavo)protein family, their functions are divergent.

CRY1 Gene Polymorphism and Racing Performance of Homing Pigeons
Animals, 2021 Cryptochromes (CRY) are the family of proteins proposed as the putative magnetoreceptor molecules. In birds, among others in pigeons, CRY1 is widely expressed in a retina.
