Probing the changes in gene expression due to α-crystallin mutations in mouse models of hereditary human cataract.
The mammalian eye lens expresses a high concentration of crystallins (α, β and γ-crystallins) to maintain the refractive index essential for lens transparency. Crystallins are long-lived proteins that do not turnover throughout life. The structural destabilization of crystallins by UV exposure, glyc...
