α-crystallin is a major protein found in the mammalian eye lens that works as a molecular
chaperone by preventing the aggregation of proteins and providing tolerance to stress in the …

Purpose This research aims to probe the interaction of α-crystallin with a model of human,
porcine, and mouse lens-lipid membranes. Methods Cholesterol/model of human lens-lipid …

Purpose It is well established that levels of soluble α-crystallin in the lens cytoplasm fall
steadily with age, accompanied by a corresponding increase in the amount of membrane …

α-Crystallin, the major protein component of the vertebrate lens, is thought to play a critical
role in the maintenance of transparency through its ability to inhibit stress-induced protein …

Abstract α-Crystallin is a major lens protein, comprising up to 40% of total lens proteins,
where its structural function is to assist in maintaining the proper refractive index in the lens …

Lens epithelial cells are the parental cells responsible for growth and development of the
transparent ocular lens. Many elegant investigations into their biology have focused on the …

Cataract, loss of eye lens transparency, is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. α‐
Crystallin, initially known as one of the major structural proteins of the eye lens, is composed …

The development of cataracts is a debilitating eye condition which is common in elderly
patients and afflicts millions worldwide. Cataracts result from the deposition of aggregated …

α-Crystallin, a large lenticular protein complex made up of two related subunits (αA-and αB-
crystallin), is known to associate increasingly with fiber cell plasma membranes with age …

Vertebrate lens is one of the tissues with the highest soluble protein concentration. The
predominant soluble proteins in lens fiber cells are crystallins, and among them, α-crystallins …
