Gene information for BEST4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID266675
Official gene symbolBEST4
Full namebestrophin 4
Aliases,MGC126872,VMD2L2,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the bestrophin gene family of anion channels. Bestrophin genes share a similar gene structure with highly conserved exon-intron boundaries, but with distinct 3' ends. Bestrophins are transmembrane proteins that contain a homologous region rich in aromatic residues, including an invariant arg-phe-pro motif. Mutation in one of the family members (bestrophin 1) is associated with vitelliform macular dystrophy. The bestrophin 4 gene is predominantly expressed in the colon. [provided by RefSeq]
