Do Connexin Mutants Cause Cataracts by Perturbing Glutathione Levels and Redox Metabolism in the Lens?

Cataracts of many different etiologies are associated with oxidation of lens components. The lens is protected by maintenance of a pool of reduced glutathione (GSH) and other antioxidants. Because gap junction channels made of the lens connexins, Cx46 and Cx50, are permeable to GSH, we tested whethe...
