Summary: Enables ligand-gated channel activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid secretion, neurotransmission; glutamate secretion; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception and regulation of calcium ion transport. Located in membrane microdomain. Is expressed in choroid plexus; neocortex; and telencephalon meninges. Used to study bestrophinopathy and vitelliform macular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy; bestrophinopathy; macular degeneration; retinitis pigmentosa 50; and vitelliform macular dystrophy. Orthologous to human BEST1 (bestrophin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
