Involvement of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in dengue infection [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractDuring infection, dengue virus (DENV) proteins interact with host cellular constituents promoting the remodeling of the cell to facilitate virus production. While a number of interacting proteins have been identified for DENV non-structural proteins, far fewer interacting partners have been identified for the DENV structural proteins.

The voltage-dependent anion channel-1 modulates apoptotic cell death [PDF]
Cell Death & Differentiation, 2005 The role of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in cell death was investigated using the expression of native and mutated murine VDAC1 in U-937 cells and VDAC inhibitors. Glutamate 72 in VDAC1, shown previously to bind dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), which inhibits hexokinase isoform I (HK-I) binding to mitochondria, was mutated to glutamine ...

Cepharanthine induces ROS stress in glioma and neuronal cells via modulation of VDAC permeability
Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2020 Cepharanthine (CEP) is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid. Molecular dynamics studies show that CEP interacts with Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), inducing the voltage-independent channel narrowing.

Single-channel recordings from cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 1988 We have applied patch-clamp techniques to on-cell and excised-membrane patches from human retinal pigment epithelial cells in tissue culture. Single-channel currents from at least four ion channel types were observed: three or more potassium-selective ...
