Protein names and data: TSPOA_HUMAN , Translocator protein , Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor; PKBS; Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor; PBR Lenght: 169 a.a.
Mass: 18828 Da
fasta formatted sequence
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 (By similarity).
Cellular location: Mitochondrion membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Found in many tissue types. Expressed at the highest levels under normal conditions in tissues that synthesize steroids.
