Descriptor English: alpha-Crystallin B Chain
Descriptor Spanish: Cadena B de alfa-Cristalina
Descriptor cadena B de alfa-cristalina
Entry term(s) cristalina-B alfa
Scope note: Una de las subunidades de alfa-cristalina. Ademas de expresarse en las lentes (LENTES, CRISTALINO), la cadena B de alfa-cristalina se ha encontrado en distintos tejidos como CORAZÓN, CEREBRO, MÚSCULO y RIÑÓN. La acumulación de la proteína en el cerebro se asocia a ENFERMEDADES NEURODEGENERATIVAS como el SÍNDROME DE CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB y la ENFERMEDAD DE ALEXANDER.

Scope note: One of the alpha crystallin subunits. In addition to being expressed in the lens (LENS, CRYSTALLINE), alpha-crystallin B chain has been found in a variety of tissues such as HEART; BRAIN; MUSCLE; and KIDNEY. Accumulation of the protein in the brain is associated with NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES such as CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME and ALEXANDER DISEASE.
