Chaperone activity in the lens

Introduction: α‐crystallin, the major protein of the eye lens, is a molecular chaperone that is able to prevent the precipitation of denatured proteins. This activity is thought to be important for the maintenance of lens transparency. Loss of the activity has been postulated to contribute to the development of cataract. The purpose of this study was to determine how chaperone activity was affected by growth and ageing of the lens.
