Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of eye lens. Involved in several processes, including lens development in camera-type eye; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of anoikis. Located in lysosome and nucleus. Used to study cataract; microphthalmia; and retinal detachment. Biomarker of ocular hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 10 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYBA1 (crystallin beta A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that strocytes deficient in betaA3/A1-crystallin protein exhibit altered levels of total and activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
Title: βA3/A1-crystallin is a critical mediator of STAT3 signaling in optic nerve astrocytes.
These results suggest that the disappearance of the betaA3/A1-crystallin protein and, in addition, down-regulation of the Nufip2 gene as a consequence of gene rearrangement causes the HiSER phenotype.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
