    Summary
    Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy; bestrophinopathy; macular degeneration; retinitis pigmentosa 50; and vitelliform macular dystrophy. Orthologous to several human genes including BEST1 (bestrophin 1); BEST2 (bestrophin 2); and BEST3 (bestrophin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
