| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens fiber cell morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and eye. Used to study cataract 39 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 39 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGB (crystallin gamma B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes and heterozygotes for a spontaneous mutation exhibit cataracts characterized by nuclear and polar opacity with vacuoles and a reduction in lens weight.
