| Function |
May act as a component of the cytoskeleton or as a chaperone for the reorganization of intermediate filament proteins during terminal differentiation in the lens. Does not seem to have enzymatic activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Abundantly expressed in lens. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17010935}.
