Current state of theoretical and experimental studies of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC). [PDF]
Biochim Biophys Acta, 2016 Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the major channel of the mitochondrial outer membrane provides a controlled pathway for respiratory metabolites in and out of the mitochondria. In spite of the wealth of experimental data from structural, biochemical, and biophysical investigations, the exact mechanisms governing selective ion and metabolite ...

The Role of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel in Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Human Disease
Cells, 2021 The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a β-barrel membrane protein located in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). VDAC has two conductance states: an open anion selective state, and a closed and slightly cation-selective state.

Ten Years of High Resolution Structural Research on the Voltage Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC)—Recent Developments and Future Directions [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Mitochondria are evolutionarily related to Gram-negative bacteria and both comprise two membrane systems with strongly differing protein composition. The major protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria is the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC ...

Modulation of mitochondrial voltage dependent anion channel: studies on bilayer electrophysiology [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyThe present paper is a review of the mitochondrial Voltage Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC), popularly known as mitochondrial porin, which is a protein that forms a passive diffusion ion channel across the outer membrane of the mitochondrion.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC) is a porin in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Unlike bacterial porins, several mitochondrial β-barrels comprise an odd number of β-strands, as is the case for the 19-β-stranded VDAC. Previously,

The Biogenesis Process of VDAC – From Early Cytosolic Events to Its Final Membrane Integration
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Voltage dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC) is the most abundant protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It is a membrane embedded β-barrel protein composed of 19 mostly anti-parallel β-strands that form a hydrophilic pore.

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.
