POR1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400006896, also known as StVDAC1, POR1, or VDAC1, encodes a porin with voltage-gated monoatomic anion channel activity, placing it in the porin eukaryotic and Tom40 domain families. In potato (Solanum tuberosum) on chromosome 2, this gene is associated with mitochondrial and plastid outer membrane localization and linked to diverse processes including mitochondrial gene expression, DNA transport, protein import, electron transport chain, programmed cell death, and signal transduction. It has also been connected to secondary metabolism, cofactor biosyntheses such as phylloquinone biosynthesis, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance traits.
