LRRC8E localizations
LRRC8E [ENSP00000479953]
Volume-regulated anion channel subunit LRRC8E; 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 (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658). Mediates efflux of amino acids, such as aspartate, in response to osmotic stress . Channel activity requires LRRC8A plus at least one other family member (LRRC8B, LRRC8C, LRRC8D or LRRC8E); channel characteristics depend on the precise subunit composition .
Synonyms: LRRC8E, LRRC8Ep, hLRRC8E, M0QZ48, M0R2D8 ...
