Entrez Gene summary for CRYAB:
Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the
major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens
central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout
life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma
families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided
into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting
peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B,
for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat
shock protein (sHSP also known as the HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature
proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates.
Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40
subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha
crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene
products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed
widely in many tissues and organs. Elevated expression of alpha-B crystallin occurs in many neurological diseases; a
missense mutation cosegregated in a family with a desmin-related myopathy. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CRYAB_HUMAN, P02511
Function: May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing
aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CRYAB_HUMAN, P02511 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Alpha-crystallin B chain  
Size: 175 amino acids; 20159 Da
Subunit: Heteropolymer composed of three CRYAA and one CRYAB subunits. Aggregates with homologous proteins, including
the small heat shock protein HSPB1, to form large heteromeric complexes. Inter-subunit bridging via zinc ions enhances
stability, which is crucial as there is no protein turn over in the lens. Interacts with HSPBAP1 and TTN/titin
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Translocates to the nucleus during heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear
structures known as SC35 speckles or nuclear splicing speckles

    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CRYAB_HUMAN, P02511
  • Defects in CRYAB are the cause of myopathy myofibrillar type 2 (MFM2) [MIM:608810]. A neuromuscular disorder
  • that results in weakness of the proximal and distal limb muscles, weakness of the neck, velopharynx and trunk muscles,
    hypetrophic cardiomyopathy, and cataract in a subset of patients
  • Defects in CRYAB are the cause of cataract posterior polar type 2 (CTPP2) [MIM:613763]. A subcapsular opacity,
  • usually disk-shaped, located at the back of the lens. It can have a marked effect on visual acuity
  • Defects in CRYAB are the cause of myopathy myofibrillar fatal infantile hypertonic alpha-B crystallin-related
  • (MFMFIH-CRYAB) [MIM:613869]. MFMFIH-CRYAB is a muscular dystrophy with onset in the first weeks of life after a normal
    neonatal period. Affected infants show rapidly progressive muscular rigidity of the trunk and limbs associated with
    increasing respiratory difficulty resulting in death before age 3 years
