αA-Crystallin Peptide (66) SDRDKFVIFLDVKHF (80) Accumulating in Aging Lens Impairs the Function of α-Crystallin and Induces Lens Protein Aggregation

BACKGROUND: The eye lens is composed of fiber cells that are filled with α-, β- and γ-crystallins. The primary function of crystallins is to maintain the clarity of the lens through ordered interactions as well as through the chaperone-like function of α-crystallin. With aging, the chaperone functio...
