Summary: Predicted to enable bicarbonate channel activity; intracellularly ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity; and ligand-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bicarbonate transport; chloride transmembrane transport; and sensory perception of smell. Predicted to act upstream of or within chloride transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane and cilium. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Orthologous to human BEST2 (bestrophin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
