ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	mice homozygous for the disrupted alpha3 gene developed nuclear cataracts that were associated with the proteolysis of crystallins (
	Targeted null mutations in Gja3 in mice cause cataracts with recessive inheritance (
	double mutant offspring between Lop10 and the Gja3(tm1) (alpha 3(-/-)) mice showed relatively normal lens cortical fibers (
