Synonyms

Beta-crystallin A4, Beta-A4 crystallin, CRYBA4, MCOPCT4.

Beta-crystallin A4 (CRYBA4) is a member of the beta/gamma-crystallin family which are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. Beta-crystallins construct aggregates of various sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. The CRYBA4 gene being a beta acidic group member is part of a gene cluster with beta-B1, beta-B2, and beta-B3.

Description

CRYBA4 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 216 amino acids (1-196 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 24.5kDa. CRYBA4 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source
