Protocol for high-yield bacterial expression and purification of the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 for high-throughput biophysical assays [PDF]
Summary: Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) is a key protein in cellular metabolism and apoptosis. Here, we present a protocol to express and purify milligram amounts of recombinant VDAC1 in Escherichia coli.

Expression profiling of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel-1 associated genes predicts recurrence-free survival in human carcinomas. [PDF]
Mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) play a key role in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Both in vivo and in vitro evidences indicate that VDACs are actively involved in tumor progression.

Arabidopsis voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (AtVDAC1) is required for female development and maintenance of mitochondrial functions related to energy-transaction. [PDF]
The voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs), prominently localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane, play important roles in the metabolite exchange, energy metabolism and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis process in mammalian cells.

VDAC1 protein derived from extracellular vesicles promotes paclitaxel resistance in gastric cancer through autophagy and mitophagy [PDF]
Objective: Paclitaxel (PTX), a conventional second-line therapeutic agent for advanced gastric cancer (GC), exhibits compromised clinical efficacy due to acquired chemoresistance in patients, the molecular mechanisms of which remain poorly elucidated ...

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. This uncovering facilitates the PHB2 interaction with phagophore
