    Summary
    Enables intracellularly calcium-gated chloride channel activity and volume-sensitive chloride channel activity. Involved in chloride transport and intracellular water homeostasis. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult head and spermatozoon. 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 BEST2 (bestrophin 2); BEST3 (bestrophin 3); and BEST4 (bestrophin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
