Bestrophin-2 (original) (raw)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Bestrophin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BEST2 gene.[5][6][7]
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 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 2 gene is mainly expressed in the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium and colon.[7][8]
