Voltage dependent anion selective channel protein 1 (also known as VDAC1 or mitochondrial Porin) is the predominant protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane. VDAC1 is predicted to have a beta-barrel structure and consist of either 13 or 16 membrane spanning strands. In particular, VDAC1 can function as an NADH ferricyanide reductase. It plays a vital role in modulating endostatin induced endothelial cell apoptosis. Its activity is regulated by Nek1 (NIMA related protein kinase 1) through phosphorylation of VDAC1 protein on serine 193. AffiSelect VDAC1 Loading Control Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide within residues 150-200 of human VDAC1 (Swiss Prot: P21796).
