    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the crystallin family of proteins that are localized to the refractive structure of vertebrate eye lenses. The protein encoded by this gene is unique in that it has both beta and gamma crystallin protein motifs. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

    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.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site and lacks an alternate exon, resulting in an alternate 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (b) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform a.
