Resumen

Cellular membranes contain a Maxi-Cl- channel that is modulated by oestrogen and antioestrogens. The experimental work of my PhD Thesis has focussed in the study of the molecular identity of the Maxi-Cl- channel and its regulation. My results demonstrated that an isoform of the mitochondrial protein VDAC is the molecular correlate of the Maxi-Cl- channel and that the activation of the channel by antioestrogens and its inhibition by oestrogen requires a dephosphorylation and phosphorylation process, respectively.
