Abstract excerpt
The human lens crystallin gene CRYGC T5P is associated with Coppock-like cataract and has a phenotype of a dust-like opacity of the fetal lens nucleus and deep cortical region. Previous in vitro mutation studies indicate that the protein has changed conformation, solubility, and stability, which may make it susceptible to aggregation, as seen in cataractous lens and cell culture expression. To investigate the...
