[Vertebrate crystallins- from proteins to genes].

Kozlov KA .


???displayArticle.abstract???
A review of literature on tissue-specific proteins of the vertebrate eye lens and genes coding for these proteins is presented. Particular attention is paid to the most heterogeneous family of crystallins: beta- and gamma-crystallins, their nomenclature, and the structure of their genes. It is pointed out that mutations in gene coding for ubiquitous crystallins may be related to some forms of cataracts.
