Abstract excerpt
Previous studies propose that genetic mutations and post-translational modifications in protein crystallins promote protein aggregation and are considered significant risk factors for cataract formation. The βB2-crystallin (HβB2C) forms a high proportion of proteins in the human eye lens. Different congenital mutations and post-translational deamidations in βB2-crystallin have been reported and linked to cataract...
