MeSH Heading: alpha-Crystallin B Chain
Tree Number(s): D12.776.306.366.100.300; D12.776.580.157.300
Unique ID: D038203
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D038203
Scope Note: One of the alpha crystallin subunits. In addition to being expressed in the lens (LENS, CRYSTALLINE), alpha-crystallin B chain has been found in a variety of tissues such as HEART; BRAIN; MUSCLE; and KIDNEY. Accumulation of the protein in the brain is associated with NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES such as CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME and ALEXANDER DISEASE.
