From: MP20, the second most abundant lens membrane protein and member of the tetraspanin superfamily, joins the list of ligands of galectin-3

Figure 1

Spatial distribution of MP20 and galectin-3 in the lens. (A) Overview of the distribution of MP20 (red) in relation to cell nuclei (blue) as a marker for fiber cell differentiation in equatorial sections. (B) Co-localisation of MP20 (red) and galectin-3 (green) in peripheral cortex as indicated by box b in panel A. (C) Co-localisation of MP20 and galectin-3 in an area approximately 500 m into the cortex as indicated by box c in panel A. Yellow indicates regions of overlap of both proteins.
