'''Crystallin''' 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. | '''Crystallin''' is found in the lens of the eye accounting for the transparency and probably increasing the refractive index of it.
