“…Val-Met-Asp-Phe-Tyr In view of the organogenesis of the lens (Pirie & van Heyningen, 1956) it is noteworthy that y-crystallin fraction IVb, which is heterogeneous, is more abundant in the nuclear region of the lens (Bjork, 1961), and is comprised of the early foetal proteins, whereas fraction II, which is homogeneous (Croft, 1972), is more concentrated, relative to fraction IVb, in the cortex of the lens, which develops later.…”
