MFM2A

Chr 11AD

crystallin alpha B

Also known as: CMD1II, CRYA2, CTPP2, CTRCT16, HEL-S-101, HSPB5, MFM2, MFM2A

Alpha-B crystallin functions as a molecular chaperone that holds misfolded proteins in large soluble aggregates and is widely expressed in many tissues beyond the lens. Mutations cause autosomal dominant myofibrillar myopathy 2A with adult onset. This gene is broadly expressed in neurological tissues where elevated expression occurs in many neurological diseases.
