- Description
- Exhibits unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including heart contraction; myofibril assembly; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 16 multiple types; dilated cardiomyopathy 1II; fatal infantile hypertonic myofibrillar myopathy; and myofibrillar myopathy 2. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; heart; lens; liver; and otic vesicle. Orthologous to human CRYAB (crystallin alpha B).
