Voltage-Dependent Anion-Selective Channel Protein 1

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (283 aa, ~31 kDa) is encoded by the human VDAC1 gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of cell volume, the modulation of apoptosis and the permeability of the outer mitochondrial membrane.
