The eukaryotic porin superfamily consists of two families, voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) and Tom40, which are both located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. In Trypanosoma brucei, only a single member of the VDAC family has been described. We report the detection of two additional eukaryotic porin-like sequences in T. brucei. By bioinformatic means, we classify both as putative VDAC isoforms.
