Description
This gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament
family. Intermediate filamentents, along with microtubules and
actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The protein encoded
by this gene is responsible for maintaining cell shape, integrity
of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. It is
also involved in the immune response, and controls the transport of
low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from a lysosome
to the site of esterification. It functions as an organizer of a
number of critical proteins involved in attachment, migration, and
cell signaling. Mutations in this gene causes a dominant,
pulverulent cataract
