RTU Anti-VDAC/Porin Antibody is directed against human VDAC1/Porin1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest that this antibody would react with VDAC1/Porin1 from a wide range or organisms, including avian, mammalian, aquatic and reptilian sources based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity will occur with all forms of VDACs including VDAC1, VDAC2 (4 isoforms) and VDAC3 (2 isoforms). Such broad reactivity makes this antibody useful as an excellent loading control (mitochondrial).
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) proteins are abundant, pore-forming proteins belonging to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porins. It was discovered in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It also is expressed in the plasma membrane. At least three different VDAC genes have been identified in vertebrates. VDAC proteins are known to play an essential role in cellular metabolism and in the early stages of apoptosis. For example, VDAC constitutes a major pathway by which metabolites such as ADP/ATP, succinate and citrate are exchanged between the cytosol and mitochondria. And VDAC1 in the plasma membrane establishes a novel level of apoptosis regulation putatively via its redox activity.
