Volume activated | Volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channel | VSOR (one of VAAC, VRAC,a and VSOAC) | LRRC8A+8C/8D/8E(+?c) |
Maxi-anion channel | Maxi-Cl (one of VAAC, VRAC,a VSOAC, and MAC-1b) | SLCO2A1(+?c) | |
Acid activated | Acid-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channel | ASOR (one of VCAC) | ? |
↵a The VRAC abbreviation used in this work (for volume-regulated anion channel) is sometimes also referred to as the volume-regulatory anion channel.
↵b Maxi-Cl is the major type of maxi-anion channel (MAC-1) (see the text for details).
↵c The question mark represents some missing molecular component which may exist to reproduce a full set of phenotypes (see the text for details).
