Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; negative regulation of glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus. Used to study attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Orthologous to human PER1 (period circadian regulator 1).
