Differential mitochondrial protein interaction profile between human translocator protein and its <i>A147T</i> polymorphism variant
2021-07-23
Abstract excerpt
The translocator protein (TSPO) has been implicated in mitochondrial transmembrane cholesterol transport, brain inflammation, and other mitochondrial functions. It is upregulated in glial cells during neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. High affinity TSPO imaging radioligands are utilized to visualize neuroinflammation. However, this is hampered by the common A147T polymorphism which compromises ligand bindi...
