Ontogeny of lens crystallins of the garden lizard, Calotes versicolor has been studied by gel filtration, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 7M urea PAGE, SDS and 6M urea isoelectric focusing. Wet weight, diameter and the soluble protein content per lens were also determined as a function of age. The amount of α‐crystallins increased slightly during development. The relative proportion of the putative δ‐crystallins was significantly higher in the embryos than in the adult. The overall polypeptide pattern of crystallins changed markedly around the time of hatching.
