== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CRYAA_HUMAN CRYAA_HUMAN] Early-onset lamellar cataract;Early-onset nuclear cataract;Total early-onset cataract;Cataract-microcornea syndrome;Early-onset anterior polar cataract. Alpha-crystallin A 1-172 is found at nearly twofold higher levels in diabetic lenses than in age-matched control lenses.<ref>PMID:12356833</ref>   The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CRYAA_HUMAN CRYAA_HUMAN] Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions.<ref>PMID:22120592</ref>
