== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LRC8C_HUMAN LRC8C_HUMAN] Non-essential component of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC, also named VSOAC channel), an anion channel required to maintain a constant cell volume in response to extracellular or intracellular osmotic changes (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731). The VRAC channel conducts iodide better than chloride and can also conduct organic osmolytes like taurine (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731). Plays a redundant role in the efflux of amino acids, such as aspartate and glutamate, in response to osmotic stress (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731). The VRAC channel also mediates transport of immunoreactive cyclic dinucleotide GMP-AMP (2'-3'-cGAMP), an immune messenger produced in response to DNA virus in the cytosol (PubMed:33171122). Channel activity requires LRRC8A plus at least one other family member (LRRC8B, LRRC8C, LRRC8D or LRRC8E); channel characteristics depend on the precise subunit composition (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731).<ref>PMID:24790029</ref> <ref>PMID:26824658</ref> <ref>PMID:28193731</ref> <ref>PMID:33171122</ref>
