This group includes the two eye lens intermediate filament, or “beaded filament”, proteins CP49 (phakinin) and filensin (CP115). These two are highly divergent from the other intermediate filament groups but comparative genomic analysis suggests they have been conserved over a long period of evolution as clearly homologous genes are present in fugu fish.
