The Amphibian Eye: Development and Regeneration

“…The beta crystallins are the most complex and have been shown to be a family of heteropolymers composed of different combinations of subunits. The crystallins of the calf lens (ex, {3, y} have also been thoroughly investigated and these results are reviewed by PAPACONSTANTINOU (1967), PALMER and PAPACONSTANTINOU (1969), DELCOUR and PAPACONSTANTINOU (1972), CLAYTON (1970, SPECTOR (1969), and W ALEY (1969). Delta crystallin is believed to be a tetramer of four subunits of the same size each having a molecular weight of 45000-50000 daltons giving a total molecular weight of 200000 for native delta crystallin (PIATIGORSKY et aI., 1974).…”
