PubMed PubMed Product Detail Phakinin is a membrane-associated and cytoskeletal intermediate filament (IF) protein specific to the eye lens. IFs are cytoskeletal structures that typically contain a head, rod and tail domain. Unlike most IFs, Phakinin completely lacks the C-terminal tail domain thus contributing to the unique structure of the beaded filament that is specific to the lens. Phakinin is required for the assembly of beaded filaments and cytoskeletal networks that are important for the long-term maintenance of optical properties and transparency of the lens. Phakinin copolymerizes with Filensin, another IF protein, to form the 10-nm filamentous structures of the beaded filaments. Phakinin is also capable of self-assembling into filament-like structures that form thicker bundles. Mutations in the gene encoding Phakinin can result in lens cataract.

DISEASE:
Defects in BFSP2 are the cause of cataract autosomal dominant BFSP2-related (ADC-BFSP2); also known as cataract autosomal dominant multiple types 1. Cataract is an opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. Cataract autosomal dominant BFSP2-related is characterized by a variable phenotype that may or may not be consistent within a family. The opacities can be nuclear, sutural, stellate cortical, lamellar, cortical, nuclear embryonic, Y-sutural, punctate cortical, congenital or with juvenile- and adult-onset.
Similarity:
Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
