Mitochondrial Pore Protein; Mitochondrial Porin; Pore Forming Protein VDAC; Porin, Mitochondria; Porins, Mitochondria; VDAC Mitochondrial Porin; VDAC Proteins; Voltage-Dependent, Anion-Selective Channel Forming Protein, Mitochondrial
A family of voltage-gated eukaryotic porins that form aqueous channels. They play an essential role in mitochondrial CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY, are often regulated by BCL-2 PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS, and have been implicated in APOPTOSIS.
