Description: VDAC1 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. The protein may participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 95-124 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this VDAC1 antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the VDAC1 antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
