The TSPO Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to translocator protein, and TSPO. This antibody recognizes Human antigen. The TSPO Antibody has been validated for the following applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot.
Description
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).
Subunit Structure: Interacts with TSPOAP1 (By similarity). May interact with STAR (By similarity). Interacts with MOST-1.
Similarity: Belongs to the TspO/BZRP family
