Function | Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22120592}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19464326}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19464326}. Note=Translocates to the nucleus during heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear structures known as SC35 speckles or nuclear splicing speckles. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in eye lens. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12356833}. |
