It is part of the eye lens fiber cells and is critical in maintaining lens transparency and structural integrity. LIM2 is highly expressed in the lens contributing to its function in the eye.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nLIM2 plays a significant role in lens development and homeostasis. It is part of the integral membrane proteins that influence lens fiber cell maturation and intercellular communication. LIM2 interacts with other cellular components supporting the structural arrangement necessary for proper lens function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nLIM2 participates in cell adhesion and signal transduction pathways in the eye lens. These pathways are essential for maintaining cell shape transparency and communication within lens cells. LIM2 functions in concert with proteins like connexins which are also integral to cell-cell communication within the lens.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations in the LIM2 gene have been linked to cataracts and other lens-related abnormalities. These conditions often result from disruptions in lens transparency and refractive properties that LIM2 helps maintain. The alpha crystallin and gamma crystallin proteins are related to LIM2 as their interactions affect lens clarity and structure contributing to cataract formation when dysfunctional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850297725097,"sku":"ab198502","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab198502","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
