The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) plays a key role in the regulation of osmotic cell volume as well as in various physiological processes such as apoptosis, insulin secretion, cell differentiation, and purinergic signaling. It is formed by hetero-hexamers of members of the leucine-rich repeat-containing protein family 8 (LRRC8), which consists of five members, LRRC8A-E. LRRC8A is the obligatory subunit, and its heteromerization with at least one other LRRC8 paralogue, LRRC8B-E, determines VRAC's biophysical properties. Subunit stoichiometry of VRAC is of physiological importance and largely influences its activation mechanism, as well as its response to regulatory inputs. However, the endogenous tissue-specific subunit composition o...
