Lysosomal LRRC8 complex regulates lysosomal pH, morphology and systemic glucose metabolism

Ashutosh Kumar, Yonghui Zhao, Litao Xie…·Rajan Sah

This study shows that the lysosomal LRRC8 complex regulates lysosomal pH, morphology, and systemic glucose metabolism by affecting mTOR signaling and autophagic flux.

LRRC8 complexes are adenosine nucleotide release channels regulating platelet activation and arterial thrombosis

John D. Tranter, Ryan T. Mikami, Ashutosh Kumar…·Rajan Sah

This study identifies LRRC8 complexes as ATP/ADP release channels in platelets that regulate thrombosis by modulating calcium and PI3K-AKT signaling through P2X1, P2Y1, and P2Y12 receptors.
