Background: BMAL2 is a 636 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and contains one bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain, one PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain and two PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains. Expressed at high levels in placenta and brain and at lower levels in liver, thymus, heart, lung and kidney, BMAL2 functions as a component of the circadian core oscillator, which includes a variety of proteins that work in tandem to activate the transcription of target genes. More specifically, BMAL2, when functioning as a component of the core oscillator, binds to the E-box element (3'-CACGTG-5') of target DNA, thus inducing transcription. Multiple isoforms of BMAL2 exist due to alternative splicing events.
