In a novel evolutionary process, enzymes and stress proteins have undergone direct gene recruitment as eye lens crystallins in a number of independent events. This may have allowed a dynamic response to changing visual environment during evolution. In spite of their diversity, many crystallins may share an origin in essential developmental processes such as cell elongation.
在一个全新的进化过程中，酶和应激蛋白在多个独立事件中作为晶状体晶状体蛋白经历了直接的基因招募。这可能使得在进化过程中对不断变化的视觉环境产生动态反应。尽管它们具有多样性，但许多晶状体蛋白可能起源于细胞伸长等基本发育过程。
