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 …

Research over the past decade has extended the prevailing view of the mitochondrion to
include functions well beyond the generation of cellular energy. It is now recognized that …

Steroid hormones are made from cholesterol, primarily derived from lipoproteins that enter
cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. In endo-lysosomes, cholesterol is released from …

The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor or recognition site (PBR) is a widely
distributed transmembrane protein that is located mainly in the outer mitochondrial …

Steroid hormones regulate diverse physiological functions such as reproduction, blood salt
balance, maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics, response to stress, neuronal …

There are growing concerns about potential delayed, neuropsychiatric consequences (eg,
cognitive decline, mood or anxiety disorders) of sports-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) …

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 …

Alzheimer disease (AD) is associated with an increase in the brain of the 18-kDa
translocator protein (TSPO), which is overexpressed in activated microglia and reactive …

The evolutionarily conserved peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), or 18-kDa
translocator protein (TSPO), is thought to be essential for cholesterol transport and …
