| pubmed-article:7843902 | pubmed:abstractText | Previous studies have shown that alpha-crystallin, a major lens protein, acts as a chaperone preventing the thermal denaturation of other lens crystallins. However, there has not been an examination of the alpha-crystallin chaperone ability with respect to the types of insult thought to cause human cataract. Therefore, an examination of the chaperone potential of alpha-crystallin under conditions of oxidative stress was undertaken. | lld:pubmed |
