Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) are small pore-forming membrane proteins that regulate metabolite exchange across the mitochondrial outer membrane. Apart from metabolite transfer, VDAC role has also been suggested during apoptosis. VDAC2 is one of the isoforms of VDAC. It interacts with BAK and functions as a specific inhibitor of BAK-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 3 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.2% gelatin, 0.05% sodium azide.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Species Crossreactivity: Bovine, Cat, Chimpanzee, canine, Human.
