[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VDAC1_MOUSE VDAC1_MOUSE] Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane and also the plasma membrane. The channel at the outer mitochondrial membrane allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules; in the plasma membrane it is involved in cell volume regulation and apoptosis. It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective. May participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.<ref>PMID:10716730</ref> <ref>PMID:15477379</ref> <ref>PMID:18988731</ref> | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VDAC1_MOUSE VDAC1_MOUSE] Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane and also the plasma membrane.

FunctionVDAC1_MOUSE Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane and also the plasma membrane. The channel at the outer mitochondrial membrane allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules; in the plasma membrane it is involved in cell volume regulation and apoptosis. It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective. May participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.[1] [2] [3] See AlsoReferences
