Protein name Translocator protein (Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor) (PKBS) (Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor) (PBR)
Protein 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 preci
