Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including cholesterol binding activity; phosphatidylcholine binding activity; and voltage-gated anion channel activity. Involved in negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway and negative regulation of protein polymerization. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane and myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human VDAC2 (voltage dependent anion channel 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
