| Abstract: In a novel evolutionary process. enzymes and stress proteins have undergone direct gene recruitment as eye lens crystallins in a number of independent events. This may have allowed a dynamic response to changing visual environments during evolution. In spite of their diversity, many crystallins may share an origin in essential developmental processes such as cell elongation. |
