Protein SigNET: P21796

Antibody Type: Monoclonal

Antibody Host Species: Mouse

Antibody Ig Isotype Clone: IgG2a
Antibody Immunogen Source: Fusion protein amino acids 1-283 (full-length) of human VDAC1. Mouse: 98% identity (279/283 amino acids identical). Rat: 98% identity (279/283 amino acids identical) >60% identity with VDAC2 and VDAC3.

Production Method: Protein G purified

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 50% glycerol, 0.1% sodium azide

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Immunohistochemistry | ICC/Immunofluorescence

Antibody Dilution Recommended: WB (1:1000); optimal dilutions for assays should be determined by the user.

Antibody Potency: In mouse brain lysates, this antibody detects a ~30 kDa protein in cell and tissue lysates by Western blotting.

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human | Mouse | Rat

Antibody Positive Control: 1 µg/ml of SMC-456 was sufficient for detection of VDAC1 in 20 µg of rat brain lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.

Antibody Specificity: Very high

Antibody Cross Reactivity: Does not cross-react with VDAC2 or VDAC3 (based on KO validation results).
Scientific Background: Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (also known as VDAC, VDAC1 or outer mitochondrial membrane protein porin 1) is the the outer mitochondrial membrane receptor for hexokinase and BCL2L1. VDAC forms a channel through the mitochondrial membrane and is involved in small molecule diffusion, cell volume regulation and apoptosis. VDAC may participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC), which is responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.
