Facts about Volume-regulated anion channel subunit LRRC8A.
Mediates efflux of amino acids, such as aspartate and glutamate, in response to osmotic stress (PubMed:28193731). LRRC8A and LRRC8D are required for the uptake of the drug cisplatin (PubMed:26530471).

Expressed in brain, kidney, ovary, lung, liver, heart, and fetal brain and liver. Found at high levels in bone marrow; lower levels are detected in peripheral blood cells. Expressed on T-cells as well as on B-lineage cells.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. The leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain is on the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane.
