Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lens development in camera-type eye; response to hydrogen peroxide; and response to lead ion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study cataract. Biomarker of cataract; galactosemia; and ocular hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 9 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYAA (crystallin alpha A).
