Abstract
Control of protein synthesis is associated with changes in the ratio of intracellular Na+ to K+ in the cultured embryonic chick lens. Correlations of intracellular Na+/K+ ratios with crystallin synthesis and cataract formation in vitro suggest that the Na+/K+ ratio may have an important role in the regulation of protein synthesis during cataractogenesis.Keywords
