About Tspo

Summary

Enables androgen binding activity and benzodiazepine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell death. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Used to study Cholesterol ester storage disease. Orthologous to human TSPO (translocator protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
