Mu-crystallin homolog also known as NADP-regulated thyroid-hormone-binding protein (THBP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRYM gene. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[5][6]

Function

thyroid hormone for possible regulatory or developmental roles.[6]

Its enzyme function has been determined as a

thyroxine, T3, has been found to be a potent inhibitor at nanomolar concentrations.[7]

Besides its role in lens biology, CRYM seems also to be involved in thyroid hormone signalling in other tissues. It could be demonstrated that CRYM mutations may cause deafness through thyroid hormone binding effects on the fibrocytes of the cochlea.[8] Disruption of the CRYM gene leads to decreased T3 concentrations in both tissues and serum without alteration of peripheral T3 action in vivo.[9][10]

The existence of intracellular thyroid hormone binding proteins has been postulated from mathematical modelling of

pituitary-thyroid homeostasis.[11] Binding properties have been assumed to be similar to those of extracellular binding proteins,[12]
however it is not clear, if THBP is the only intracellular thyroid hormone binding protein.
