Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (VDAC1, VDAC), also known as outer mitochondrial membrane protein porin 1, is the outer mitochondrial membrane receptor for hexokinase and BCL2L1. VDAC1 forms a channel through the mitochondrial membrane and is involved in small molecule diffusion, cell volume regulation and apoptosis. VDAC1 may participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC), which is responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.
Synonyms: Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1, VDAC-1, hVDAC1, Outer mitochondrial membrane protein porin 1, Plasmalemmal porin, Porin 31HL, Porin 31HM
Storage: 2-8C
Application: Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot states VDAC1 does not cross-react with VDAC2 or VDAC3 (based on KO validation results) representative lot deteted VDAC1 in wild type mouse liver tissue, and demonstrated a loss of signal in VDAC1 knock out mouse hippocampal tissue using immunobloting analysis (Prof. J. Trimmer, University of California, Davis).Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:250 dilution from a representative lot detected VDAC1 in human cardiac myocytes tissue.
Other Notes: Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
