Description
Enables unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heart contraction; maintenance of lens transparency; and myofibril assembly. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; heart; otic vesicle; presumptive neural retina; and solid lens vesicle. Used to study cataract. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 16 multiple types; dilated cardiomyopathy 1II; fatal infantile hypertonic myofibrillar myopathy; and myofibrillar myopathy 2. Orthologous to human CRYAB (crystallin alpha B).
