Crygb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of eye lens. Involved in lens development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 39 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGB (crystallin gamma B). [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 rat Crygb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
