CRYGD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 194 amino acids (1-174 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22.9kDa.CRYGD is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
CRYGD is a member of the beta/gamma-crystallin family. Crystallins are the principal structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. The mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Gamma-crystallins are involved in cataract formation. Defects in the CRYGD gene are responsible for cataract autosomal dominant (ADC), cataract congenital non-nuclear polymorphic autosomal dominant (CCP), cataract congenital cerulean type 3 (CCA3) and cataract crystalline aculeiform (CACA).
