FunctionCrystallin is found in the lens of the eye accounting for the transparency and probably increasing the refractive index of it. α-, β-, γ-, δ-crystallin are named according to the order they are eluted by gel filtration.
DiseaseMutations in α-A-crystallin and α-B-crystallin can cause myopathy[4]. Several human cataracts have been linked to mutations in γ-D-crystallin[5]. 3D Structures of Crystallin
