TSPO Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
The TSPO protein was originally thought to be a peripheral benzodiazepine receptor that binds protoporphyrin IX and isoquinoline carboxamide. TSPO Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived TSPO protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity
Description
The TSPO protein was originally thought to be a peripheral benzodiazepine receptor that binds protoporphyrin IX and isoquinoline carboxamide. TSPO Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived TSPO protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.
Background
TSPO (Translocator Protein) exhibits the ability to bind protoporphyrin IX, suggesting a potential role in the transport of porphyrins and heme. Initially identified as a peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor, TSPO can also bind isoquinoline carboxamides. Moreover, it plays a role in promoting cholesterol transport across mitochondrial membranes, implicating its involvement in lipid metabolism. Although its precise physiological function is controversial and some reports suggest that it may not be essential for steroid hormone biosynthesis, TSPO interacts with various proteins such as TSPOAP1, MOST-1, and potentially STAR, indicating its participation in diverse cellular processes.
