Volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channels (VSOACs) are expressed in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and have been implicated in cell proliferation, growth, apoptosis and protection against oxidative. stress. In this chapter, we review the properties of native VSOACs in PASMCs, and consider the evidence that ClC-3, a member of the ClC superfamily of voltage dependent Cl- channels, may be responsible for native VSOACs in PASMCs. Finally, we examine whether or not native VSOACs and heterologously expressed ClC-3 channels function as bona fide chloride channels or as chloride/proton antiporters.
