Abstract excerpt
Crystallin is essential not only for the maintenance of eye lens transparency, but also in the biology of other tissues. Eye lens α-crystallin exists as a heteropolymer composed of two homologous subunits, αA and αB. Despite the critical role of α-crystallin in many tissues, little is known regarding structural and functional significance of the two subunits. Herein, we describe a unique feature of αB-crystallin....
