Function
May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. In lens epithelial cells, stabilizes the ATP6V1A protein, preventing its degradation by the proteasome.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Secreted; Lysosome
Tissue Specificity: Lens as well as other tissues
