serine and Cataract

serine has been researched along with Cataract in 15 studies

Serine: A non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids.
serine : An alpha-amino acid that is alanine substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group.

Cataract: Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence). (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Many human connexin50 (Cx50) mutants have been linked to cataracts including two carboxyl terminus serine mutants that are known phosphorylation sites in the lens (Cx50S258F and Cx50S259Y)."8.12Cataract-linked serine mutations in the gap junction protein connexin50 expose a sorting signal that promotes its lysosomal degradation. ( Berthoud, VM; Beyer, EC; Ebihara, L; Minogue, PJ; Mysliwiec, H; Tong, JJ; Wichmann, K, 2022)
"Many human connexin50 (Cx50) mutants have been linked to cataracts including two carboxyl terminus serine mutants that are known phosphorylation sites in the lens (Cx50S258F and Cx50S259Y)."4.12Cataract-linked serine mutations in the gap junction protein connexin50 expose a sorting signal that promotes its lysosomal degradation. ( Berthoud, VM; Beyer, EC; Ebihara, L; Minogue, PJ; Mysliwiec, H; Tong, JJ; Wichmann, K, 2022)
"There was a gradual decrease in the quantity of various amino acids associated with cataract formation due to reduced concentrations of glutamic acid, threonine, serine, glycine, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and tyrosine in stages of cataract formation."3.67Study of the relationship between free amino acids and cataract in human lenses. ( Bhatnagar, R; Chauhan, BS; Desai, NC; Garg, SP, 1984)
"Cataract is a common cause of childhood blindness worldwide."1.35Cataract mutation P20S of alphaB-crystallin impairs chaperone activity of alphaA-crystallin and induces apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells. ( Ke, T; Li, C; Li, DW; Li, H; Liu, J; Liu, M; Lu, Q; Ren, X; Su, T; Wang, QK; Yuan, M; Zeng, S; Zhang, Z, 2008)
""Ant-egg" cataract is a rare, distinct variety of congenital/infantile cataract that was reported in a large Danish family in 1967."1.33The congenital "ant-egg" cataract phenotype is caused by a missense mutation in connexin46. ( Eiberg, H; Funding, M; Hansen, L; Hejtmancik, JF; Kjaer, KW; Riise, R; Rosenberg, T; Yao, W, 2006)
