Scientific Background

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) of the outer mitochondrial membrane is a small, \nabundant outer membrane pore-forming protein found in the outer membranes of all eukaryotic \nmitochondria. The VDAC protein is thought to form the major pathway for movement of adenine \nnucleotides through the outer membrane and to be the mitochondrial binding site for hexokinase and \nglycerol kinase. At low transmembrane voltage, VDAC is open for anions such as phosphate, chloride, \nand adenine nucleotides. At higher transmembrane voltage, VDAC functions as a selective channel for \ncations and uncharged molecules. These features make VDAC likely to play a role in mitochondrial \nenergy metabolism. Huizing et al. studied by Northern and Western blot analyses the human tissue \ndistribution of mitochondrial transmembrane metabolite carriers. They found that VDAC1 mRNA has a \nubiquitous distribution, with most pronounced expression in heart, liver, and skeletal muscle, whereas \nthe VDAC2 isoform appears to be expressed only in the heart.
