Cells possess the capability to adjust their volume for various physiological processes, presumably including cell proliferation and migration. The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), formed by LRRC8 heteromers, is critically involved in regulatory volume decrease of vertebrate cells. The VRAC has
