Present mainly in the mitochondrial compartment of peripheral tissues, the protein encoded by TSPO(translocator protein) interacts with some benzodiazepines and has different affinities than its endogenous counterpart. The protein is a key factor in the flow of cholesterol into mitochondria to permit the initiation of steroid hormone synthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported; one of the variants lacks an internal exon and is considered non-coding, and the other variants encode the same protein.蛋白别名为:TSPO; BZRP; MBR; Translocator protein; Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor; PKBS; Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor; PBR;基因ID为:706;蛋白质ID:P30536
