The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master circadian clock in mammals and is properly entrained by environmental light cycle. However, the molecular mechanism(s) determining the magnitude of phase shift by light is still not fully understood. The orphan G-protein-coupled receptor Gpr176 is enriched in the SCN, controls the pace (period) of the circadian rhythm in behavior but is not apparently involved in the light entrainment; Gpr176 animals display a shortened circadian period in constant darkness but their phase-resetting responses to light are normal.
