10,537 Da
ncbi summary :
Present mainly in the mitochondrial compartment of peripheral tissues, the protein encoded by this gene 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.

uniprot summary :
TSPO: 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. Belongs to the TspO/BZRP family. Interacts with BZRAP1. May interact with STAR. Interacts with MOST-1. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Apoptosis; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Receptor, misc.; Mitochondrial. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 22q13.31. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; integral to membrane; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; mitochondrial outer membrane; mitochondrion; nuclear membrane.
