Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial porins, also know as VDACs (voltage-dependent anion channels), play an important role in regulating energy metabolism, apoptosis, and the transport of metabolites across the mitochondrial outer membrane. So far three distinct isoforms of VDAC (VDAC1-3) have been reported in vertebrates, but their functions remain unknown. The annotation database of the Drosophila melanogaster genome sequence has...
