CRYGC, Recombinant, Human, aa1-174, His-Tag (Gamma-crystallin C, Gamma-C-crystallin, Gamma-crystalli

Gamma-crystallin C, also known as CRYGC, belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families, beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They are differentially regulated after early development. Four gamma-crystallin genes (gamma-A through gamma-D) and three pseudogenes (gamma-E, gamma-F, gamma-G) are organized in a genomic segment as a gene cluster. Whether due to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation. Defects in CRYGC are a cause of cataract autosomal dominant (ADC) and cataract Coppock-like (CCL).
