CRY1 (Cryptochrome 1) is a flavin-type blue light photoreceptor with ATP-binding and autophosphorylation activity that plays a role in the blue-green ratio perception of light. It regulates other light responses, including circadian rhythms, tropical growth, stomatal opening, protective cell development, root development, bacterial and viral pathogen response, abiotic stress response, cell cycle, programmed cell death, apical dominance, fruit and ovule development, seed dormancy, and magnetic acceptance. Other names: blue light photoreceptor 1, protein blue light uninhibited 1, protein elongated hypocotyl 4, protein exphase 2,OOP2.
