Lens crystallins: gene recruitment and evolutionary dynamism.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
In a novel evolutionary process, enzymes and stress proteins have undergone direct gene recruitment as eye lens crystallins in a number of independent events, which may have allowed a dynamic response to changing visual environment during evolution.
