Conductance hysteresis in the voltage-dependent anion channel [PDF]

European Biophysics Journal, 2015
Hysteresis in the conductance of voltage-sensitive ion channels is observed when the transmembrane voltage is periodically varied with time. Although this phenomenon has been used in studies of gating of the voltage-dependent anion channel, VDAC, from the outer mitochondrial membrane for nearly four decades, full hysteresis curves have never been ...

Structure of the human voltage-dependent anion channel [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), also known as mitochondrial porin, is the most abundant protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). VDAC is the channel known to guide the metabolic flux across the MOM and plays a key role in mitochondrially induced apoptosis.

Functional Characterization of VDACs in Grape and Its Putative Role in Response to Pathogen Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) are the most abundant proteins in the mitochondrial outer membranes of all eukaryotic cells. They participate in mitochondrial energy metabolism, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, and cell growth and reproduction ...

Structure, gating and interactions of the voltage-dependent anion channel [PDF]

European Biophysics Journal, 2021
AbstractThe voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is one of the most highly abundant proteins found in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and was one of the earliest discovered. Here we review progress in understanding VDAC function with a focus on its structure, discussing various models proposed for voltage gating as well as potential drug targets to

Expression of voltage-dependent anion channels in endometrial cancer and its potential prognostic significance

Tumor Biology, 2020
The exchange of metabolites between mitochondria and cytosol occurs through pores formed by voltage-dependent anion channel proteins. Voltage-dependent anion channels appear to be master regulators of mitochondrial bioenergetics and the intracellular ...

The Physiopathologic Roles of Calcium Signaling in Podocytes

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Calcium (Ca2+) plays a critical role in podocyte function. The Ca2+-sensitive receptors on the cell surface can sense changes in Ca2+ concentration, and Ca2+ flow into podocytes, after activation of Ca2+ channels (such as transient receptor potential ...

A 3D model of the voltage‐dependent anion channel (VDAC) [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2002
Eukaryotic porins are a group of membrane proteins whose best known role is to form an aqueous pore channel in the mitochondrial outer membrane. As opposed to the bacterial porins (a large family of protein whose 3D structure has been determined by X‐ray diffraction), the structure of eukaryotic porins (also termed VDACs, voltage‐dependent anion ...

Historical Perspective of Pore-Forming Activity Studies of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (Eukaryotic or Mitochondrial Porin) Since Its Discovery in the 70th of the Last Century

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Eukaryotic porin, also known as Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC), is the most frequent protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria that are responsible for cellular respiration.
