Dual mechanism of ion permeation through VDAC revealed with inorganic phosphate ions and phosphate metabolites.
In the exchange of metabolites and ions between the mitochondrion and the cytosol, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a key element, as it forms the major transport pathway for these compounds through the mitochondrial outer membrane. Numerous experimental studies have promoted the idea t...
