Genetics of crystallins: cataract and beyond.

Experimental eye research - 1 Feb 2009

Graw Jochen

Abstract excerpt

The crystallins were discovered more than 100 years ago by Mörner (1893. Untersuchungen der Proteinsubstanzen in den lichtbrechenden Medien des Auges. Z. Physiol. Chem. 18, 61-106) as the main structural proteins of the vertebrate eye lens. Since that time the major mammalian crystallins referred to as alpha-, beta-, and gamma-crystallins were characterized with respect to their genetic organization, regulation...
