Lrrc8e Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable volume-sensitive anion channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including aspartate transmembrane transport; cell volume homeostasis; and cyclic-GMP-AMP transmembrane import across plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human LRRC8E (leucine rich repeat containing 8 VRAC subunit E). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Lrrc8e often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
