Resisting the effects of aging: a function for the fiber cell beaded filament.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 1 Mar 2008

Yoon Kyoung-Hye, Blankenship Tom, Shibata Bradley, Fitzgerald Paul G

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The beaded filament is a cytoskeletal structure that has been found only in the lens fiber cell. It includes phakosin and filensin, two divergent members of the intermediate filament family of proteins that are also unique to the fiber cell. The authors sought to determine what function the beaded filament fulfills in the lens. METHODS: Light microscopy and electron microscopy were used to characterize...
