Non-selective voltage-gated ion channel that mediates the transport of anions and cations through the mitochondrion outer membrane and plasma membrane (PubMed:10661876, PubMed:11845315, PubMed:18755977, PubMed:30061676, PubMed:8420959). 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 (PubMed:10661876, PubMed:11845315, PubMed:18755977, PubMed:8420959). It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV (PubMed:10661876, PubMed:18755977, PubMed:8420959). The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective (PubMed:18755977, PubMed:8420959). Binds various signaling molecules, including the sphingolipid ceramide, the phospholipid phosphatidylcholine, and the sterols cholesterol and oxysterol (PubMed:18755977, PubMed:31015432). In depolarized mitochondria, acts downstream of PRKN and PINK1 to promote mitophagy or prevent apoptosis; polyubiquitination by PRKN promotes mitophagy, while monoubiquitination by PRKN decreases mitochondrial calcium influx which ultimately inhibits apoptosis (PubMed:32047033). May participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis (PubMed:15033708, PubMed:25296756). May mediate ATP export from cells (PubMed:30061676). Part of a complex composed of HSPA9, ITPR1 and VDAC1 that regulates mitochondrial calcium-dependent apoptosis by facilitating calcium transport from the ER lumen to the mitochondria intermembrane space thus providing calcium for the downstream calcium channel MCU that directly releases it into mitochondria matrix (By similarity). Mediates cytochrome c efflux (PubMed:20230784). Catalyzes the scrambling of phospholipids across the outer mitochondrial membrane; the mechanism is unrelated to channel activity and is capable of translocating both anionic and zwitterionic phospholipids.

The VDAC family also known as porins includes the isoforms VDAC1 VDAC2 and VDAC3. These proteins are integral components of the outer mitochondrial membrane and play key roles in cellular metabolism and energy production. VDAC1 the most studied isoform has a molecular mass of approximately 31 kDa. These proteins facilitate the transfer of metabolites ions and ATP between the mitochondria and the cytoplasm therefore regulating mitochondrial function. They are expressed in various tissues throughout the body reflecting their fundamental role in cellular functions.
VDAC proteins serve as gatekeepers for mitochondrial channels controlling the passage of molecules into and out of mitochondria. They are part of a large complex that includes proteins like hexokinase creatine kinase and components of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. VDACs significantly influence apoptosis by participating in the release of cytochrome c a critical step in the apoptotic pathway. Their function affects cellular survival energy balance and metabolism.
The VDAC proteins are closely associated with energy metabolism and apoptotic pathways. They interact with the electron transport chain and glycolysis by regulating substrate flow and maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential. VDACs also link to Bcl-2 family proteins which modulate apoptosis. Their role in maintaining cellular homeostasis emphasizes their importance in cellular life-and-death decisions impacting vital processes such as oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis.
Alterations in VDAC function have been linked to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer increased VDAC expression is often associated with enhanced glycolysis and tumor growth. VDACs regulate interactions with proteins like hexokinase which promotes cancer cell survival. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s dysfunctional VDAC activity can lead to impaired mitochondrial function and increased oxidative stress. These changes involve interactions with proteins like tau and amyloid-beta contributing to disease pathology.

IHC image of VDAC1/Porin + VDAC2 + VDAC3 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human heart performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab15895, 0.1 μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
