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).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
