VDAC/Porin Antibody recognizes VDAC (also known as Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1) which is an outer membrane mitochondrial protein. The VDAC proteins are ~30-33 kDa (some isoforms are larger). The VDAC proteins are thought to form aqueous channels, or pores, through which adenine nucleotides cross the outer mitochondrial membrane. VDACs have been implicated in the formation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore complex in apoptotic cells. This complex, formed by VDAC, adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), and cyclophilin D (CypD), is thought to allow the mitochondria to undergo metabolic uncoupling and irreversible morphologic changes that ultimately destroy the mitochondria during apoptosis. VDACs are highly expressed in heart, liver and skeletal muscle, where concentrations of mitochondria are at their highest. Diseases associated with VDAC1 include Cystic Fibrosis and Gerstmann-Straussler Disease. This antibody can be used as a loading control with whole cell lysates and total mitochondrial preparations. Anti-VDAC/Porin Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Apoptosis, cell survival and regulation, Mitochondrial Proteins, and Neuroscience Research.
VDAC/Porin Antibody was prepared from whole goat serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to N-terminal portion of Human VDAC1/Porin1.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
