The eye lens membrane component ‘MP34’ [Exp. Eye Res. 24 (1977) 413–415] has been resolved into three protein components and in a revised nomenclature designated MP35, MP36.5 and MP37, respectively. MP37 has been identified as the enzyme glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase, which is one of the major components of membranes both from cultured hamster lens cells and from HeLa cells.
