In anatomy a crystallin is a water-soluble structural protein found in the lens and the cornea of the eye accounting for the transparency of the structure. It has also been identified in other places such as the heart and in aggressive breast cancer tumors. Since it has been shown that lens injury may promote nerve regenerationcrystallin has been an area of neural research. So far it has been demonstrated that crystallin β b2 (crybb2) may be a neurite promoting factor.
