Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20mM Tris-HCl(pH8.0) containing 0.1M NaCl, 10% glycerol. Crygd, also known as gamma-crystalin D, belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation. Defects in Crygd are a cause of cataract autosomal dominant (ADC), cataract congenital non-nuclear polymorphic autosomal dominant (CCP), cataract congenital cerulean type 3 (CCA3) and cataract crystalline aculeiform (CACA). Recombinant mouse Crygd protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
