Summary: Enables cyclic-GMP-AMP transmembrane transporter activity; identical protein binding activity; and volume-sensitive anion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cyclic-GMP-AMP transmembrane import across plasma membrane; positive regulation of insulin secretion; and protein hexamerization. Located in plasma membrane. Part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and upper leg. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in agammaglobulinemia and agammaglobulinemia 5. Orthologous to human LRRC8A (leucine rich repeat containing 8 VRAC subunit A).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
