Gene name Bestrophin 4
Gene symbol BEST4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
VMD2L2
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.1
Summary This 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 homologou
