摘要
The translocator protein (TSPO) is an 18 kDa transmembrane protein primarily found in the outer mitochondrial membrane where it forms a key part of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MFTP). Omnipresent in almost all tissues, TSPO up-regulation has been connected to neuronal damage and inflammation, making the protein an important bio-imaging marker for disease progression. More recently, TSPO has attracted attention as a possible molecular target for tumour imaging and chemotherapy. In this review we summarize TSPO's molecular characteristics and highlight research progress in recent years in the field of TSPO-targeted cancer diagnostics and treatments.
