Eye Proteins

Molecular classification: Crystallins, Small Heat Shock Proteins, Transcription Factors, Extracellular Matrix Proteins, Structural Proteins, Phototransduction Proteins

Overview

Eye proteins are a diverse group of molecules essential for the structure, function, and health of ocular tissues. They play critical roles in vision, lens transparency, phototransduction, and maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Key protein families include crystallins, small heat shock proteins, photoreceptor proteins, developmental regulators, and extracellular matrix proteins. Dysfunction or mutation in these proteins can lead to various eye diseases, most notably cataracts and corneal dystrophies.
