About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for TSPO: Present mainly in the mitochondrial compartment of peripheral tissues, the protein encoded by this gene interacts withsome benzodiazepines and has different affinities than its endogenous counterpart. The protein is a key factor in theflow of cholesterol into mitochondria to permit the initiation of steroid hormone synthesis. Alternate transcriptionalsplice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TSPOA_HUMAN, P30536Function: Responsible for the manifestation of peripheral-type benzodiazepine recognition sites and is most likely tocomprise binding domains for benzodiazepines and isoquinoline carboxamides. May play a role in the transport ofporphyrins and heme. Plays a role in the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes in steroidogeniccells (By similarity)
