Gene information for VDAC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7417
Official gene symbolVDAC2
Full namevoltage-dependent anion channel 2
Aliases,FLJ23841,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the voltage-dependent anion channel pore-forming family of proteins that are considered the main pathway for metabolite diffusion across the mitochondrial outer membrane. The encoded protein is also thought to be involved in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway via regulation of BCL2-antagonist/killer 1 protein activity. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 2, 12 and 21, and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
