vdac-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable voltage-gated monoatomic anion channel activity. Involved in mitochondrion organization. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on olfactory behavior. Located in mitochondrion. Expressed in AWCL and AWCR. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinsonism; and prostate cancer. Is an ortholog of human VDAC1 (voltage dependent anion channel 1) and VDAC2 (voltage dependent anion channel 2).
