LENEP - lens epithelial protein Gene
Also Known as LEP503
Species: Homo sapiens
About LENEP
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants) and 109 orthologues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
The ocular lens is a tissue of epithelial origin and devoid of blood vessels and nerves. Cells of the lens epithelium are responsible for the growth and maintenance of the lens through Mitosis, protein synthesis, and active transport of ions and metabolites across the lens capsule. Lens epithelial protein is expressed exclusively in lens epithelial cells and may play a role in cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
