Comments
function May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens.
subunit Aggregates with homologous proteins, including CRYAA and the small heat shock protein HSP28, to form large heteromeric complexes.
tissue specificity Lens as well as other tissues.
disease Seen as Rosenthal fiber protein in the brain tissue of patients with Alexander disease [MIM:203450].
disease Defects in CRYAB are the cause of alpha-B crystallinopathy [MIM:608810]. Alpha-B crystallinopathy is a an autosomal dominant form of desmin-related myopathy (DRM) that results in weakness of the proximal and distal limb muscle (including neck, velopharynx, and trunk muscles), signs of cardiomyopathy and cataract. Patients with progressive myopathy characterized by myofibrillar degeneration that commences at the Z-disk, have been described. Mutations truncate the essential C- terminal domain of the protein required for the chaperone function.
similarity Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
