Background:
Crystallins are separated into two classes:
taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class
constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains
the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens
central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these
crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them
extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided
into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins
are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are
further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions
exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide,
and N- and C-terminal extensions. Gamma-crystallins are a
homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins
typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They
are differentially regulated after early development. This gene
encodes a protein initially considered to be a beta-crystallin but
the encoded protein is monomeric and has greater sequence
similarity to other gamma-crystallins. This gene encodes the most
significant gamma-crystallin in adult eye lens tissue. Whether due
to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have
been involved in cataract formation.
