Anti-BEST4 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein bestrophin 4. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 473 amino acid residues and a mass of 53.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is a member of the Anion channel-forming bestrophin (TC 1.A.46) protein family. The BEST4 marker can be used to identify Large Intestine Epithelial Fibroblasts.* Synonyms for this target antigen include vitelliform macular dystrophy 2-like 2 and vitelliform macular dystrophy 2-like protein 2. BEST4 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for the BEST4 antibodies listed below. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
