An Extraretinally Expressed Insect Cryptochrome with Similarity to the Blue Light Photoreceptors of Mammals and Plants

Photic entrainment of insect circadian rhythms can occur through either extraretinal (brain) or retinal photoreceptors, which mediate sensitivity to blue light or longer wavelengths, respectively. Although visual transduction processes are well understood in the insect retina, almost nothing is know...
