Crygd Gene Summary [Mouse]

A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens fiber cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including sensory organ; skeleton; and tarsus. Used to study cataract 2 multiple types and cataract 4 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 4 multiple types and cataract 7. Orthologous to human CRYGD (crystallin gamma D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Crygd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
