Rattus norvegicus
Gene ID: 83531 | Gene type: protein coding

About Vdac2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including Cholesterol binding activity; phosphatidylcholine binding activity; and voltage-gated anion channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization; and negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion and synaptic vesicle. Used to study myocardial infarction and visual epilepsy. Biomarker of temporal lobe epilepsy. Orthologous to human VDAC2 (voltage dependent anion channel 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
