About Cryba4

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the crystallin family of proteins that contribute to the transparency and refractive properties of the ocular lens. Certain mutations in the human ortholog of this gene are associated with cataract and bilateral microphthalmia. This gene is located adjacent to a related crystallin gene on chromosome 5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
