    Glossary Translocator Protein

    protein on mitochondria involved in cholesterol transport and stress response

    The Translocator Protein (TSPO), formerly known as the Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor (PBR), is a protein found on the outer membrane of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. It plays a crucial role in transporting cholesterol into mitochondria, which is essential for the production of steroid hormones. TSPO is also involved in cellular stress responses and inflammation, making it a target for research in various medical fields, including neurology and oncology.
