Lineage-specific expression of bestrophin-2 and bestrophin-4 in human intestinal epithelial cells.

Lineage-specific expression of bestrophin-2 and bestrophin-4 in human intestinal epithelial cells.

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) regulate the absorption and secretion of anions, such as HCO3(-) or Cl(-). Bestrophin genes represent a newly identified group of calcium-activated Cl(-) channels (CaCCs). Studies have suggested that, among the four human bestrophin-family genes, bestrophin-2 (BEST...
