This gene encodes a voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), and belongs to the mitochondrial porin family. VDACs are small, integral membrane proteins that traverse the outer mitochondrial membrane and conduct ATP and other small metabolites. They are kno

Non-selective voltage-gated ion channel VDAC3 (VDAC-3) (hVDAC3) (Outer mitochondrial membrane protein porin 3)
Protein function
Non-selective voltage-gated ion channel that mediates the transport of anions and cations through the mitochondrion outer membrane and plasma membrane (PubMed:31935282). Forms a high-conducting channel with a stable open state and a voltage-indu
