Mu Crystallin also known as CRYM is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 33 kDa. It binds to NADPH functioning as a crystallin-like structure. Mu Crystallin expresses in several tissues with notable presence in the human kidney heart and inner ear. While its original identification was in relation to vertebrate eye lens outside the lens its expression takes on additional roles that align with its involvement in thyroid hormone binding.
Biological function summary

Mu Crystallin plays a part in the regulation of thyroid hormones by acting as a carrier protein for triiodothyronine (T3). It does not belong to any known complex but shows distinction in its binding capabilities. By binding with T3 mu Crystallin modulates the availability of this hormone affecting local cellular environments and hormonal pathways. This interaction influences the normal signaling of thyroid hormones which are essential for maintaining many physiological processes.

Pathways

Mu Crystallin is involved in key processes related to thyroid hormone signaling and metabolic regulation. It fits importantly into the thyroid hormone pathway where it impacts the transportation and eventual metabolism of T3. In relation to this context mu Crystallin interacts with proteins such as thyroid hormone receptors and other binding proteins inherent in the metabolic pathways.

Defects and dysregulation in mu Crystallin function connect to non-syndromic deafness and depressive disorders. Through its role in hormone regulation mu Crystallin's dysfunctions can impact neurotransmitter levels which may contribute to depressive conditions. Furthermore its relationship with other thyroid hormone-related proteins suggests implications in auditory impairments where alterations in hormone availability affect inner ear health.

General info

Function

Specifically catalyzes the reduction of imine bonds in brain substrates that may include cystathionine ketimine (CysK) and lanthionine ketimine (LK). Binds thyroid hormone which is a strong reversible inhibitor. Presumably involved in the regulation of the free intracellular concentration of triiodothyronine and access to its nuclear receptors.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ornithine cyclodeaminase/mu-crystallin family.
