Human Gene VDAC1 (ENST00000265333.8) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens voltage dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_003374) RefSeq Summary (NM_003374): This gene encodes a voltage-dependent anion channel protein that is a major component of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein facilitates the exchange of metabolites and ions across the outer mitochondrial membrane and may regulate mitochondrial functions. This protein also forms channels in the plasma membrane and may be involved in transmembrane electron transport. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1, 2 3, 6, 9, 12, X and Y.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000265333.8 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000213585.11 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr5:133,971,871-134,004,975 Size: 33,105 Total Exon Count: 9 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr5:133,972,771-133,993,012 Size: 20,242 Coding Exon Count: 8
ID:VDAC1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1; Short=VDAC-1; Short=hVDAC1; AltName: Full=Outer mitochondrial membrane protein porin 1; AltName: Full=Plasmalemmal porin; AltName: Full=Porin 31HL; AltName: Full=Porin 31HM; FUNCTION: Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane and also the plasma membrane. The channel at the outer mitochondrial membrane allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules; in the plasma membrane it is involved in cell volume regulation and apoptosis. It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective. May participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis. SUBUNIT: Interacts with hexokinases (By similarity). Interacts with BCL2L1. Interacts with influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein. INTERACTION: P19367:HK1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-354158, EBI-713162; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion outer membrane. Cell membrane. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Heart, liver and skeletal muscle. DOMAIN: Consists mainly of a membrane-spanning beta-barrel formed by 19 beta-strands. The helical N-terminus folds back into the pore opening and plays a role in voltage-gated channel activity. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porin family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
