## Abstract Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a known risk factor for cataract, but the molecular mechanisms involved have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that exposure to UVR would modulate the activation of nuclear factor kappa‐B (NF‐κB) within the human lens epithelium, since NF‐κB
Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B)/rel is the family of ubiquitous transcriptional activators involved in regulation of diverse immune and inflammatory responses. It also plays a role in control of cell growth and apoptosis. In its inactive form NF-B remains in the cytoplasm sequestered through interacti
