The channel has a large diameter of 0.8x1.1nm, and is non-selective for small ions. However, it has an upper exclusion size limit corresponding to molecular weights of about 600 Dalton of permeants. Because most metabolites have molecular weights lower than 600 Da and have been shown to pass through porin channels, porins are called general diffusion pores.
Ion channel. Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins whose functions include establishing a resting membrane potential, shaping action potentials and other electrical signals by gating the flow of ions across the cell membrane, controlling the flow of ions across secretory and epithelial cells, and regulating cell volume.
