mu Crystallin

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.

Involvement in disease

Deafness, autosomal dominant, 40

DFNA40

A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ornithine cyclodeaminase/mu-crystallin family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in neural tissue, muscle and kidney.
