Abstract excerpt

The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), formed by LRRC8 heteromers, regulates cell volume and is a promising therapeutic target. DCPIB is the most widely used VRAC inhibitor, yet its binding mechanism remains poorly defined. Although structural studies suggested a role of residue R103 in LRRC8A in DCPIB binding, its functional relevance has been unclear. Here, we combined electrophysiology in Xenopus oocytes...
