Leucine-rich repeat containing protein LRRC8A is essential for swelling-activated Cl− currents and embryonic development in zebrafish
28 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
A volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) has been electrophysiologically characterized in innumerable mammalian cell types. VRAC is activated by cell swelling and mediates the volume regulatory efflux of Cl(-) and small organic solutes from cells. Two groups recently identified the mammalian leucine-rich repeat containing protein LRRC8A as an essential VRAC component. LRRC8A must be coexpressed with at least one...
