Lrrc8c Gene Summary [Mouse]
Contributes to volume-sensitive anion channel activity. Involved in monoatomic anion transmembrane transport and protein hexamerization. Acts upstream of or within fat cell differentiation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Is expressed in retina. Orthologous to human LRRC8C (leucine rich repeat containing 8 VRAC subunit C).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Lrrc8c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
