Background: -Crystallins are the major proteins expressed in the vertebrate eye lens, where they maintain the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Crystallins are divided into a, b and g families; b and g-crystallins compose a superfamily. Crystallins usually contain seven distinctive protein regions, including four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. a-crystallins consist of three gene products, aA, aB and aC-crystallin, which are members of the small heat shock protein family (HSP20). They are induced by heat shock, and act as molecular chaperones by holding denatured proteins in large soluble aggregates. However, unlike other molecular chaperones, a-crystallins do not renature these proteins. Research indicates that binding occurs between membranes and aC-crystallin. The binding site appears to be at the polar-apolar interface in membrane protein (MIP26) and aC-crystallin; the lipid bilayer becomes less mobile with aC-crystallin binding.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The expression of this gene in induced by estrogen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, and this protein also functions as a chaperone in association with Bag3, a stimulator of macroautophagy. Thus, this gene appears to be involved in regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis, and mutations in this gene have been associated with different neuromuscular diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
