A cytoskeletal protein unique to lens fiber cell differentiation

M Ireland, H Maisel - Experimental eye research, 1984 - Elsevier
A chick lens urea-soluble polypeptide of estimated mol. wt. 49000 daltons is unique to fiber
cell differentiation and is a component of the beaded-chain filaments of the chick
cytoskeleton. Antigenically related proteins are also present in the human and bovine lens.
There is no similarity between this protein and actin as determined by immunological
analysis and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
