Abstract
BASP1 was detected in the embryonic and adult chicken lens, using immunological methods and by peptide sequence analysis. The protein was predominantly expressed in fiber cells and only faintly detected in annular pad cells. Localization of the protein was along the plasma membrane of fiber cells often in discrete areas. The role of BASP1 in the lens requires further study.
