| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A 12 bp deletion was found to underlie this gain-of-function mutation that arose in the DDI strain. The deletion is in-frame and results in the loss of four amino acids from the second transmembrane domain, affecting cellular localization of the protein. The mutant protein localizes to the intracellular and perinuclear spaces rather than the plasma membrane of lens fiber cells. |
