The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is a highly conserved protein located in the outer
mitochondrial membrane. TSPO binding, as measured with positron emission tomography …

Abstract The translocator protein (18 kDa)(TSPO) is localized primarily in the outer
mitochondrial membrane of steroid-synthesizing cells, including those in the central and …

The permeability transition (PT) denotes an increase of the mitochondrial inner membrane
permeability to solutes with molecular masses up to about 1500 Da. It is presumed to be …

Abstract Translocator Protein 18 kDa (TSPO), previously named Peripheral Benzodiazepine
Receptor, is a well-validated and widely used biomarker of neuroinflammation to assess …

In steroid-synthesizing cells, like the MA-10 mouse tumor Leydig cells, the peripheral-type
benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein involved in the …

Introduction The steroid hormones constitute a very important class of compounds and are
present in most species. The hormones that are synthesized in the adrenal gland, namely …

Routes of Protein Kinase A. Physiol Rev 84: 137–167, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00021.2003 …

This study identifies by microautoradiography activated microglia/macrophages as the main
cell type expressing the peripheral benzodiazepine binding site (PBBS) at sites of active …

The mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor (mBzR) has been solubilized with retention of
reversible ligand binding, and the associated subunits were characterized. mBzR comprises …

For over 15 years, the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), recently named
translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) has been studied as a biomarker of reactive gliosis and …
