| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in eye; ileum; reproductive system; and urogenital sinus. Used to study cataract 2 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 2 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGC (crystallin gamma C). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes and heterozygotes for a chlorambucil-induced mutation exhibit a nuclear and radial cataract characterized by persistence of the lens fiber cell nuclei. Homozygotes present a more severe cataract with mild microphthalmia. [provided by MGI curators] |
