MeSH Heading: Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels
Tree Number(s): D12.776.157.530.400.500.520; D12.776.543.550.450.730.520; D12.776.543.585.400.730.520
Unique ID: D050994
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050994
Annotation: general; prefer specifics
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Pore Forming Protein VDAC; VDAC Proteins; Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel; Voltage-Dependent, Anion-Selective Channels
