Vdac1 - voltage-dependent anion channel 1

Enables voltage-gated anion channel activity. Involved in mitochondrial calcium ion transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane and synaptic vesicle. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to human VDAC1 (voltage dependent anion channel 1).
