Gene: VDAC1
Official Full Name: voltage dependent anion channel 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a voltage-dependent anion channel protein that is a major component of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein facilitates the exchange of metabolites and ions across the outer mitochondrial membrane and may regulate mitochondrial functions. This protein also forms channels in the plasma membrane and may be involved in transmembrane electron transport. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1, 2 3, 6, 9, 12, X and Y.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

VDAC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) gene. This gene encodes a crucial protein located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, playing a significant role in regulating mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, and apoptosis. By providing researchers with VDAC1-deficient cells, these knockout lines enable in-depth exploration of mitochondrial dynamics and their implications in various physiological and pathological contexts.
The primary function of VDAC1 involves the transportation of ions and metabolites between the mitochondria and the cytosol, thereby influencing energy production and apoptotic signaling pathways. In the absence of VDAC1, researchers can elucidate the compensatory mechanisms cells utilize and study the resultant phenotypic changes related to energy metabolism and cell survival under stress. This model is particularly valuable for investigating diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, such as neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and metabolic syndromes.
One of the critical advantages of VDAC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to provide a clearer understanding of the role of VDAC1 in vivo, allowing for targeted therapeutic interventions. Compared to conventional cell lines, these knockout models offer a unique and robust platform for gene function studies and drug testing without the confounding influence of VDAC1 activity. This specificity is invaluable for researchers aiming to dissect complex cellular signaling networks or develop novel mitochondrial-targeted therapies.
Given the increasing recognition of mitochondrial roles in health and disease, the VDAC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as an essential tool for both academic and clinical researchers. These models empower scientists to advance their understanding of mitochondrial biology, ultimately leading to innovative treatment strategies for a myriad of diseases.
