Mechanistic description

Small molecules targeting casein kinase 1 to directly entrain peripheral circadian clocks in brain microglia without light input or sleep modifications

Mechanism / pathway

  1. CSNK1D/CSNK1E
  2. chronobiology

Evidence for (3)

  • PubMed PMID 39095742

    PMID:39095742 PubMed

  • Casein kinase 1δ (CSNK1D) inhibitors show promise as therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative disorders, providing direct pharmacological validation of CSNK1D/CSNK1E as light-independent chronopharmacological targets in brain disease.

    PMID:35232339 2022 Curr Med Chem

  • Isoform-specific C-terminal autoinhibitory phosphorylation governs the circadian period-lengthening activity of CK1 (CSNK1D/CSNK1E), providing mechanistic rationale for isoform-selective pharmacological targeting without requiring light-cycle input.
