Structure and modifications of the junior chaperone alpha-crystallin. From lens transparency to molecular pathology

alpha-Crystallin is a high-molecular-mass protein that for many decades was thought to be one of the rare real organ-specific proteins. This protein exists as an aggregate of about 800 kDa, but its composition is simple. Only two closely related subunits termed alpha A- and alpha B-crystallin, with...
