Summary | This gene encodes a member of the crystallin family of proteins that contribute to the transparency and refractive properties of the ocular lens. The encoded protein associates with other beta crystallin proteins to form dimers, tetramers and other higher-order complexes. This gene is located adjacent to a related crystallin gene on chromosome 5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]. |
