Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane that allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules (PubMed:38065946). The channel adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV (By similarity). The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective (By similarity). Binds various lipids, including the sphingolipid ceramide, the phospholipid phosphatidylcholine, and the sterols cholesterol and oxysterol (PubMed:31015432). Binding of ceramide promotes the mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) apoptotic pathway (PubMed:31015432).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.

Voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (VDAC2) also known as porin 31HL or P2 mechanically functions as a channel facilitating the transport of anions and metabolites across the outer mitochondrial membrane. This channel approximately 32 kDa in size is most prominent in the mitochondria but can also be observed in other cellular locations. It is involved in regulating both the entry and exit of small ions and molecules which is essential for mitochondrial function and energy production.
VDAC2 plays significant roles beyond mere ion transport. It interacts with proteins involved in apoptosis such as Bcl-2 family proteins. Although not part of a larger complex its influence on the structure and permeability of the outer mitochondrial membrane impacts several cellular processes. The regulation of apoptosis by VDAC2 is key for cellular homeostasis and response to stress signals highlighting its role in maintaining normal cellular functions.
Several cellular processes include VDAC2's role in apoptosis and energy metabolism. VDAC2 interacts with the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in close association with proteins like Bax and Bak where it influences the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Additionally VDAC2 has a role in ATP transport and metabolic flux integral to the bioenergetics pathways by working with adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) as part of the exchange of ATP and ADP.
Mutations or dysregulation of VDAC2 connect to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its interaction with the Bcl-2 family proteins implicates it in apoptosis resistance observed in various cancers. Likewise VDAC2 dysfunction has links to neurodegenerative diseases through its impact on mitochondrial health as these conditions often display an imbalance in apoptotic pathways and energy metabolism.
