Summary: A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens fiber cell morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and eye. Used to study cataract 39 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 39 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGB (crystallin gamma B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Oxidation of active cysteines mediates protein aggregation of S10R, the cataract-associated mutant of mouse GammaB-crystallin.
Title: Oxidation of active cysteines mediates protein aggregation of S10R, the cataract-associated mutant of mouse GammaB-crystallin.
This dominant cataract was caused by the gammaB-S11R mutation.
Title: Dense nuclear cataract caused by the gammaB-crystallin S11R point mutation.
The cataract-causing mutation Crygb-nop has a 4 bp replacement in exon 3 at Ser138 truncating the wild-type sequence at 144. The mutated protein does not fold properly, resulting in amyloid-like intranuclear inclusions.
Title: Altered aggregation properties of mutant gamma-crystallins cause inherited cataract.
Crystallin gammaB-I4F mutant protein binds to alpha-crystallin and can affect lens transparency
Title: Crystallin {gamma}B-I4F mutant protein binds to {alpha}-crystallin and affects lens transparency.

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.
