The function of filensin and phakinin in lens transparency
PURPOSE: Beaded filaments are lens cell-specific intermediate filaments composed of two proteins: filensin and phakinin (CP49). Filensin and phakinin are believed to function in the maintenance of lens transparency. To elucidate the function of filensin and phakinin at the molecular level, we examin...
