Abstrakt: A major protein with a molecular weight of 17,000, designated as MP17, has been identified in mammalian eye lens plasma membranes. Hydrophobic photolabeling experiments revealed that MP17 is a genuine intrinsic membrane protein. By using monoclonal antibodies we demonstrated that MP17 is not detectable in liver, heart, muscle, spleen and kidney, and thus can be considered, like MP26, as a lens-specific membrane protein. Furthermore, we showed that MP17 is a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase and that it is a calmodulin-binding protein.
