Lens-specific βA3/A1-conditional knockout mice: Phenotypic characteristics and calpain activation causing protein degradation and insolubilization.
βA3/A1-crystallin is a lens structural protein that plays an important role in maintaining lens transparency via interactions with other crystallins. While the function of βA3/A1-crystallin in the retina is well studied, its functions in the lens, other than as a structural protein, remain unclear....
