Structure and Function:
|
The channel-forming protein porin (also called the voltage dependent anion channel, VDAC) is involved in both aerobic metabolism and apoptotic processes. Porin is localized in the outer membrane of mitochondria where it forms the primary pathway of metabolites across the membrane. Porin can also serve as a binding site for enzymes or a regulatory molecule.
