H91N DELTA 2 CRYSTALLIN FROM DUCKH91N DELTA 2 CRYSTALLIN FROM DUCK
Structural highlights
1auw is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Anas platyrhynchos. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
ARLY2_ANAPL Delta crystallin, the principal crystallin in embryonic lens, is found only in birds and reptiles. This protein also functions as an enzymatically active argininosuccinate lyase.[1][2][3][4]
