RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical regulators of mRNAs controlling all processes such as RNA transcription, transport, localization, translation, mRNA:ncRNA interactions, and decay. Cellular differentiation is driven by tissue-specific and/or tissue-preferred expression of proteins needed for the optimal function of mature cells, tissues and organs. Lens fiber cell differentiation is marked by high levels of expression of crystallin genes encoding critical proteins for lens transparency and light refraction.
