Uniprot Description
BEST1: Forms calcium-sensitive chloride channels. Highly permeable to bicarbonate. Defects in BEST1 are the cause of vitelliform macular dystrophy type 2 (VMD2); also known as Best macular dystrophy (BMD). VMD2 is an autosomal dominant form of macular degeneration that usually begins in childhood or adolescence. VMD2 is characterized by typical 'egg-yolk' macular lesions due to abnormal accumulation of lipofuscin within and beneath the retinal pigment epithelium cells. Progression of the disease leads to destruction of the retinal pigment epithelium and vision loss. Defects in BEST1 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 50 (RP50). A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. RP is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. Defects in BEST1 are a cause of adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD). AVMD is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance and highly variable expression. Patients usually become symptomatic in the fourth or fifth decade of life with a protracted disease of decreased visual acuity. Defects in BEST1 are the cause of bestrophinopathy autosomal recessive (ARB). A retinopathy characterized by central visual loss, an absent electro-oculogram light rise, and a reduced electroretinogram. Defects in BEST1 are the cause of vitreoretinochoroidopathy autosomal dominant (ADVIRC). A disorder characterized by vitreoretinochoroidal dystrophy. The clinical presentation is variable and may be associated with cataract, nanophthalmos, microcornea, shallow anterior chamber, and glaucoma. Belongs to the bestrophin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Best1 best1 (Catalog #AAA6003838) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Bestrophin-1 (BEST1, BEST, TU15B, Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy Protein 2, VMD2, ARB, BMD, RP50) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Bestrophin-1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Best1 best1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: LHEGLPKNHK AAKQNVRGQE DNKAWKLKAV DAFKSAPLYQ RPGYYSAPQT PLSPTPMFFP LEPSAPSKLH SVTGIDTKDK SLKTVSSGAK KSFELLSESD. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Bestrophin-1, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
