UniProt Annotation | |||||||||
Function | Present in the thicker 16-17 nm junctions of mammalian lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. Acts as a receptor for calmodulin. May play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis. | ||||||||
Subcellular Localization | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. | ||||||||
Disease Associations | Cataract 19 (CTRCT19) [MIM:615277]: An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11917274}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. | ||||||||
Tissue Specificity | Eye lens specific. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12107413}. | ||||||||
