Facts about Volume-regulated anion channel subunit LRRC8D.
Plays a redundant role in the efflux of amino acids, such as aspartate, in response to osmotic stress (PubMed:28193731). Channel activity requires LRRC8A and at least one other relative (LRRC8B, LRRC8C, LRRC8D or LRRC8E); channel characteristics are based on the exact subunit composition (PubMed:24782309, PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731).

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In the absence of LRRC8A, resides primarily in a cytoplasmic compartment, probably the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:24782309, PubMed:24790029). Requires LRRC8A for expression at the cell membrane (PubMed:24790029).
