Lrrc8b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable volume-sensitive anion channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including aspartate transmembrane transport; cyclic-GMP-AMP transmembrane import across plasma membrane; and monoatomic anion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human LRRC8B (leucine rich repeat containing 8 VRAC subunit B).

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 rat Lrrc8b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
