Recombinant Human TSPO, MYC/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: TSPO-51H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human TSPO fused with C-terminal MYC/DDK, was expressed in HEK293 Cells.

Specification

• Cat. No.: TSPO-51H
• Description: Present mainly in the mitochondrial compartment of peripheral tissues, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with some benzodiazepines and has different affinities than its endogenous counterpart. The protein is a key factor in the flow of cholesterol into mitochondria to permit the initiation of steroid hormone synthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported; one of the variants lacks an internal exon and is considered non-coding, and the other variants encode the same protein.
