  • 8228
Name Translocator protein
Synonyms
  1. Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor
  2. PBR
  3. PKBS
  4. Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor
Gene Name TSPO
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Signal transduction mechanisms
Specific Function Responsible for the manifestation of peripheral-type benzodiazepine recognition sites and is most likely to comprise binding domains for benzodiazepines and isoquinoline carboxamides. May play a role in the transport of porphyrins and heme. Plays a role in the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes in steroidogenic cells
