R120G alphaB-crystallin promotes the unfolding of reduced alpha-lactalbumin and is inherently unstable.
alpha-Crystallin is the principal lens protein which, in addition to its structural role, also acts as a molecular chaperone, to prevent aggregation and precipitation of other lens proteins. One of its two subunits, alphaB-crystallin, is also expressed in many nonlenticular tissues, and a natural mi...
