Research over the past decade has extended the prevailing view of the mitochondrion to
include functions well beyond the generation of cellular energy. It is now recognized that …

The field of mitochondrial ion channels has recently seen substantial progress, including the
molecular identification of some of the channels. An integrative approach using genetics …

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) mediates trafficking of small molecules and
ions across the eukaryotic outer mitochondrial membrane. VDAC also interacts with …

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), also known as mitochondrial porin, is the
most abundant protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). VDAC is the channel …

Simple Summary Here we present a comprehensive review of the current literature
describing mechanisms of damage incurred by cryopreservation, and we highlight several …

VDAC1 is found at the crossroads of metabolic and survival pathways. VDAC1 controls
metabolic cross-talk between mitochondria and the rest of the cell by allowing the influx and …

VDACs (Voltage Dependent Anion selective Channels) are a family of pore-forming proteins
discovered in the mitochondrial outer membrane. In the animal kingdom, mammals show a …

This chapter examines the novel structural features of the spermatozoon, their composition
and assembly, and the mechanisms regulating their function. The spermatozoon is a highly …

Sperm motility is necessary for the transport of male DNA to eggs in species with both
external and internal fertilization. Flagella comprise several proteins for generating and …

Research over the last decade has extended the prevailing view of mitochondria to include
functions well beyond the critical bioenergetics role in supplying ATP. It is now recognized …
