Summary: Three main families of major soluble proteins, the alpha, beta and gamma crystallins, are ubiquitously expressed in vertebrate lenses. This gene encodes a member of the gamma-crystallin family of proteins which may function as a structural component of the eye lens. Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They are differentially regulated after early development. Five gamma-crystallin genes (gamma-A through gamma-E) are tandemly organized in a genomic segment as a gene cluster in the mouse. Another gamma-crystallin gene (gamma-F) is found some distance upstream of the cluster on the same chromosome. Whether due to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
