Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
Subcellular Localization
Disease Associations Note=Defects in CRYBA2 may be a cause of congenital cataract. Cataract is an opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently resulting in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive.
