Polypeptides of the lens fibre cell intracellular matrix.
The cytoskeletal proteins of the vertebrate lens fibre cell comprise polypeptides raging in mol.wt from 43,000 to 250,000 daltons. The main intermediate filament polypeptide of the pickerel, Northern frog, chick, bovine, and human lens has a mol.wt of 54,000 daltons. Peptide analysis revealed that the chick 54,000 dalton protein was more similar to the bovine protein than to the pickerel protein.
