A human gene and a mouse gene corresponding to Drosophila period gene whichhas been known as participating in the circadian period. The proteins and DNAsare applicable to the treatment of diseases relating to the circadian rhythmsuch as sleep stage regression syndrome, sleep stage progression syndrome, non-circadian agrypnotic syndrome, irregular agrypnotic disorder and timedifference syndrome (i.e., so-called jet lag), labor and health management ofthose working until late at night irregularly, prevention of night poriomaniain dementia, etc.
