'''Crystallin''' is found in the lens of the eye accounting for the transparency and probably increasing the refractive index of it. α-, β-, γ-, δ-crystallin are named according to the order they are eluted by gel filtration. δ-crystallin is found in avian and reptilian lenses.<ref>PMID:12729747</ref> | '''Crystallin''' is found in the lens of the eye accounting for the transparency and probably increasing the refractive index of it. α-, β-, γ-, δ-crystallin are named according to the order they are eluted by gel filtration. δ-crystallin is found in avian and reptilian lenses.<ref>PMID:12729747</ref> | ||
