βA3/A1-crystallin regulates apical polarity and EGFR endocytosis in retinal pigmented epithelial cells

Shang et al. utilize a conditional Cryba1 knockout mouse model to demonstrate a key role for βA3/A1-crystallin in retinal pigmented epithelium. As a result of βA3/A1-crystallin deficiency, the authors report EGFR endocytosis defects and actin network disruption which leads to polarity disruption and...
