Function
Non-essential component of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC; also named VSOAC channel); an anion channel required to maintain a constant cell volume in response to extracellular or intracellular osmotic changes . The VRAC channel conducts iodide better than chloride and can also conduct organic osmolytes like taurine. Channel activity requires LRRC8A plus at least one other family member (LRRC8B; LRRC8C; LRRC8D or LRRC8E); channel characteristics depend on the precise subunit composition .
