αA-crystallin peptide SDRDKFVIFLDVKHF accumulating in aging lens impairs the function of α-crystallin and induces lens protein aggregation.

The eye lens is composed of fiber cells that are filled with α-, β- and γ-crystallins. The primary function of crystallins is to maintain the clarity of the lens through ordered interactions as well as through the chaperone-like function of α-crystallin. With aging, the chaperone function of α-cryst...
