Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Found in many tissue types. Expressed at the highest levels under normal conditions in tissues that synthesize steroids. |
| Function | Can bind protoporphyrin IX and may play a role in the transport of porphyrins and heme. Promotes the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes and may play a role in lipid metabolism, but its precise physiological role is controversial. It is apparently not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis. Was initially identified as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor.can also bind isoquinoline carboxamides. |
