Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24790029, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28193731};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24790029}. Note=In the absence of LRRC8A, resides primarily in a cytoplasmic compartment, probably the endoplasmic reticulum. Requires LRRC8A for expression at the cell membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24790029}.
