Non-essential component of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC, also named VSOAC channel), an anion channel required to maintain a constant cell volume in response to extracellular or intracellular osmotic changes (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731). The VRAC channel conducts iodide better than chloride and can also conduct organic osmolytes like taurine. Channel activity requires LRRC8A plus at least one other family member (LRRC8B, LRRC8C, LRRC8D or LRRC8E); channel characteristics depend on the precise subunit composition (PubMed:24790029, PubMed:26824658, PubMed:28193731). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24790029, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26824658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28193731}. This is the function of LRRC8B (leucine rich repeat containing 8 VRAC subunit B, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000197147).
