Protein-protein interaction of the putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4 expressed in the avian retina

Migratory birds can sense the Earth’s magnetic field and use it for orientation over thousands of kilometres. A light-dependent radical-pair mechanism associated with the visual system is currently discussed as the underlying mechanism of the magnetic compass sense. The blue light receptor cryptochr...
