Function

Can bind protoporphyrin IX and may play a role in the transport of porphyrins and heme. Promotes the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes and may play a role in lipid metabolism , but its precise physiological role is controversial. It is apparently not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis.

Biological Context

Subcellular 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

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Can bind protoporphyrin IX and may play a role in the transport of porphyrins and heme (By similarity). Promotes the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes and may play a role in lipid metabolism (PubMed:24814875), but its precise physiological role is controversial. It is apparently not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis. Was initially identified as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor; can also bind isoquinoline carboxamides (PubMed:1847678)

Subcellular 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

Subunit

Interacts with TSPOAP1 (By similarity). May interact with STAR (By similarity). Interacts with MOST-1. Interacts with TMEM97 (PubMed:37047353). Forms a complex with TMEM97 and PGRMC1; the interaction occurs in MIA PaCa-2 cells but not in MCF7 cells (PubMed:37047353)

Gene: TSPO  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor; PKBS; Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor
