    Summary
    A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens development in camera-type eye and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Is expressed in alimentary system; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study cataract 20 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 20 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYGS (crystallin gamma S). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. gammaS may have a functional role related to actin, perhaps in 'shepherding' filaments to maintain the optical properties of the lens cytoplasm and normal fiber cell maturation
      Title: A role for γS-crystallin in the organization of actin and fiber cell maturation in the mouse lens.
    2. Mutant Crygs gene can lead to changes of BFSP/filensin and other crystallins. Changes to these crystallins, together, may secondarily lead to cataract formation.
      Title: Alterations to proteins in the lens of hereditary Crygs-mutated cataractous mice.
    3. gammaS consists of two topologically similar domains, arranged with an approximate twofold symmetry, and each domain shows close structural homology to closely related domains found in other members of the gamma-crystallin family.
      Title: Solution structure of (gamma)S-crystallin by molecular fragment replacement NMR.
    4. disruption of the Hsf4 gene leads to cataracts via at least three pathways: down-regulation of gamma-crystallin, particularly gamma S-crystallin; decreased lens beaded filament expression; and loss of post-translational modification of alpha A-crystallin
      Title: Removal of Hsf4 leads to cataract development in mice through down-regulation of gamma S-crystallin and Bfsp expression.
    5. mutation causes autosomal recessive cataracts; likely to be involved in epithelial cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
