Demonstration and characterization of human cardiac porin: A voltage-dependent channel involved in adenine nucleotide movement across the outer mitochondrial membrane

Purification and Characterization of Porin from Corn (Zea mays L.) Mitochondria

“…This finding has recently been confirmed for human porin and porin from Dictyostelium discoideum (Kayser et al, 1989;Troll et al, 1992). We have recently characterized and compared severa1 porin channels from high-and low-eukaryotic cells (De Pinto et al, 1987a;Ludwig et al, 1988;Towbin et al, 1989;De Pinto et al, 1989a, 1989b, 1991b. Based on immunological and peptide-mapping experiments, the mammalian porins show strong structural similarities.…”
