CRYGC
geneOn this page
Summary
CRYGC (crystallin gamma C, HGNC:2410) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q33.3, encoding Gamma-crystallin C (P07315). Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
This gene encodes a member of the beta/gamma-crystallin family of proteins. Crystallins constitute the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintain the transparency and refractive index of the lens. This gene and several family members are present in a gene cluster on chromosome 2. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause multiple types of cataract, including Coppock-like cataract and zonular pulverulent cataract, among others.

Function. Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer.
Disease relevance. Cataract 2, multiple types (CTRCT2) [MIM:604307] An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. CTRCT2 includes Coppock-like cataract, among others. Coppock-like cataract is a congenital pulverulent disk-like opacity involving the embryonic nucleus with many tiny white dots in the lamellar portion of the lens. It is usually bilateral and dominantly inherited. In some cases, CTRCT2 is associated with microcornea without any other systemic anomaly or dysmorphism. Microcornea is defined by a corneal diameter inferior to 10 mm in both meridians in an otherwise normal eye. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Has a two-domain beta-structure, folded into four very similar Greek key motifs.
Similarity. Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
