The Mitochondrial Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1, Ca2+ Transport, Apoptosis, and Their Regulation. [PDF]
In the outer mitochondrial membrane, the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) functions in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by mediating the transport of Ca2+ in and out of mitochondria.

Efficient PHB2 (prohibitin 2) exposure during mitophagy depends on VDAC1 (voltage dependent anion channel 1). [PDF]
Exposure of inner mitochondrial membrane resident protein PHB2 (prohibitin 2) during autophagic removal of depolarized mitochondria (mitophagy) depends on the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits HeLa cell energy metabolism and induces apoptosis by upregulating voltage‑dependent anion channel 1. [PDF]
20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 [20(S)-GRh2], one of the main active components of Panaxginseng, induces apoptosis in a wide range of cancer cell types. The present study found that 20(S)-GRh2 reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, decreases adenosine ...

Deletion of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 knocks mitochondria down triggering metabolic rewiring in yeast. [PDF]
The Voltage-Dependent Anion-selective Channel (VDAC) is the pore-forming protein of mitochondrial outer membrane, allowing metabolites and ions exchanges. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, inactivation of POR1, encoding VDAC1, produces defective growth in the presence of non-fermentable carbon source.

Crystal structural characterization reveals novel oligomeric interactions of human voltage-dependent anion channel 1. [PDF]
AbstractVoltage‐dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), which is located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, plays important roles in various cellular processes. For example, oligomerization of VDAC1 is involved in the release of cytochrome c to the cytoplasm, leading to apoptosis. However, it is unknown how VDAC1 oligomerization occurs in the membrane. In

The Association of Mitochondrial Translocator Protein and Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel-1 in Granulosa Cells with Estradiol Levels and Presence of Immature Follicles in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. [PDF]
Background: Granulosa cells (GCs) play key roles in oocyte maturation by providing required estradiol (E2). Since the presence of immature oocytes has been reported in cases with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in this study, the levels of ...

Local mitochondrial-endolysosomal microfusion cleaves voltage-dependent anion channel 1 to promote survival in hypoxia. [PDF]
The oxygen-limiting (hypoxic) microenvironment of tumors induces metabolic reprogramming and cell survival, but the underlying mechanisms involving mitochondria remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 mediates the hyperfusion of mitochondria by inducing Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 and ...

Upregulation of Spinal Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 Contributes to Bone Cancer Pain Hypersensitivity in Rats. [PDF]
Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) is thought to contribute to the progression of tumor development. However, whether VDAC1 contributes to bone cancer pain remains unknown. In this study, we found that the expression of VDAC1 was upregulated in the L2-5 segments of the spinal dorsal horn at 2 and 3 weeks after injection of tumor cells into the ...
