| A-CRYSTALLIN Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | α-Crystallin is a lens protein that contains two homologous subunits: αA- and αB-crystallins. α-Crystallin displays chaperone-like activity and plays an important role in maintaining lens transparency. It has been noted that in diabetic conditions of rats there is a decline in the chaperone activity of α-Crystallin. Research has shown that a dietary antioxidant, curcumin, can prevent this loss of chaperone activity. | | Uses | βL-Crystallin is one of the major lens proteins that aggregates under UV. A chaperone mixture of D-pathethine and N-acetyl carnosine has the ability to slow down the rate of photoaggregatin βL-Crystallin, and may be important in the prevention of cataract. | | Uses | βL-Crystallin is one of the major lens proteins that aggregates under UV.

However, all sequences are highly conserved through evolution. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | α-Crystallin is a small heat-shock protein that has chaperone-like activity, preventing protein aggregation in vitro. Point mutations in α-crystallin genes are believed to be responsible for hereditary cataract development. |
