RT   lenses: phylogenetic comparison between beta- and gamma-crystallins.";
RL   Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 221:219-228(1996).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the
CC       vertebrate eye lens.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homo/heterodimer, or complexes of higher-order. The structure
CC       of beta-crystallin oligomers seems to be stabilized through
CC       interactions between the N-terminal arms (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: Has a two-domain beta-structure, folded into four very similar
CC       Greek key motifs.
CC   -!- PTM: The N-terminus is blocked.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. {ECO:0000305}.
