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. Expressed in vulB1; vulB2; vulC; vulD; and vulE. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy and retinal degeneration (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including BEST1 (bestrophin 1); BEST2 (bestrophin 2); and BEST3 (bestrophin 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
