This gene encodes a member of the crystallin family of proteins that contribute to the transparency and refractive properties of the ocular lens. Certain mutations in the human ortholog of this gene are associated with cataract and bilateral microphthalmia. This gene is located adjacent to a related crystallin gene on chromosome 5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015].
The following Cryba4 gene cDNA ORF clone sequences were retrieved from the NCBI Reference Sequence Database (RefSeq). These sequences represent the protein coding region of the Cryba4 cDNA ORF which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) sequence. ORF sequences can be delivered in our standard vector, pcDNA3.1+/C-(K)DYK or the vector of your choice as an expression/transfection-ready ORF clone. Not the clone you want?

Comment: REVIEWED REFSEQ: This record has been curated by NCBI staff. The reference sequence was derived from AK132591.1, AJ272228.2 and BC056444.1.
Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
