Molecular mechanisms of α-crystallinopathy and its therapeutic strategy.

Abstract excerpt

α-B-Crystallin (CryAB, gene map locus: 11q22.3-q23.1) is a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP) family, a group of proteins that prevent protein aggregation upon exposure of a cell to heat and/or restore the biological activity of cell substrates. The missense mutation and the deletion mutation of CryAB can cause various forms of muscular disorder, including restrictive, hypertrophic, and dilated...
