The mammalian lens generates an internal microcirculation that maintains transparency in
the avascular lens. Significant progress has been made in characterizing the membrane
transport proteins associated with this circulation. By combining physiological and molecular
evidence, a more comprehensive understanding of normal lens function and
cataractogenesis is emerging.
