About Crygb

Summary

A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens fiber cell morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and eye. Used to study cataract 39 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 39 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGB (crystallin gamma B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
