Transmembrane arrangement of mitochondrial porin or voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC).

abstract：:Eukaryotic porins or VDACs are a class of transmembrane proteins mainly localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane, whose function is to allow the diffusion of metabolites between the cytosol and the mitochondrion. In Drosophila melanogaster, as in other organisms, a small family of genes encoding porins has been d...
