Product Specific Information

PEP-082 is a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide whose sequence corresponds to amino acid residues 185-197 of human VDAC1 protein with an N-terminal cysteine added for carrier protein conjugation. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C N (185) D G T E F G G S I Y Q K (197)

This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and human VDAC 1, catalog # PA1-954A. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.

Target Information

Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) proteins are abundant, pore-forming proteins belonging to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porins. It was discovered in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It also is expressed in the plasma membrane. At least three different VDAC genes have been identified in vertebrates. VDAC proteins are known to play an essential role in cellular metabolism and in the early stages of apoptosis. For example, VDAC constitutes a major pathway by which metabolites such as ADP/ATP, succinate and citrate are exchanged between the cytosol and mitochondria. And VDAC1 in the plasma membrane establishes a novel level of apoptosis regulation putatively via its redox activity.
