Facts about Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1.
It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open country has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective (PubMed:11845315, PubMed:18755977, PubMed:20230784, PubMed:8420959).
