摘要：

The carp gamma-crystallin gene family was found to be composed of at least three members: gamma-m1, gamma-m2 and gamma-m3. The encoded products are very similar to other known gamma-crystallins but with their own peculiarities: (1) they all have a high methionine content: 12.4%, 14% and 8.4% in gamma-m1, gamma-m2 and gamma-m3, respectively; and (2) the amino acid sequences are aberrant in the region before connecting peptides and its corresponding region in motif 4. Their protein structures might remain the same as those of other gamma-crystallins since they retain all the conserved amino acid residues essential for maintaining the loops in the protein structures.
