Function

Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Acts as a chaperone, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus

Product Specifications

Recombinant Mouse Alpha-crystallin A chain (Cryaa) is a recombinant protein from Mus musculus (Mouse), expressed in E.coli, covering amino acids 1-196aa, with C-terminal 6xHis-tagged tag, molecular weight 29.4kDa, purity Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.. Suitable for ELISA and Western Blot applications.

SDS-PAGE: Single band at expected molecular weight confirming purity.

Subunit

Heteropolymer composed of three CRYAA and one CRYAB subunits. Inter-subunit bridging via zinc ions enhances stability, which is crucial as there is no protein turn over in the lens. Can also form homodimers and homotetramers (dimers of dimers) which serve as the building blocks of homooligomers (By similarity). Within homooligomers, the zinc-binding motif is created from residues of 3 different molecules. His-123 and Glu-125 from one molecule are ligands of the zinc ion, and His-130 and His-177 residues from additional molecules complete the site with tetrahedral coordination geometry (By similarity).
