Abstract excerpt
αB-crystallin, a member of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family, is expressed in diverse tissues, including the eyes, brain, muscles, and heart. This protein plays a crucial role in maintaining eye lens transparency and exhibits holdase chaperone and anti-apoptotic activities. Therefore, structural and functional changes caused by genetic mutations in this protein may contribute to the development of...
