Modulation of alpha-crystallin chaperone activity in diabetic rat lens by curcumin.

Mol. Vis. 11 , 561-568, (2005)

A decline in the chaperone-like activity of eye lens alpha-crystallin in diabetic conditions has been reported. In this study, we investigated whether curcumin, a dietary antioxidant, can manipulate the chaperone-like activity of alpha-crystallin in diabetic ...

Modulation of alpha-crystallin chaperone activity: a target to prevent or delay cataract?

IUBMB Life 61 , 485-495, (2009)

Cataract, loss of eye lens transparency, is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. alpha-Crystallin, initially known as one of the major structural proteins of the eye lens, is composed of two homologous subunits alphaA- and alphaB-crystallins. It is convi...
