The Interplay of Cholesterol and Ligand Binding in hTSPO from Classical Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The translocator protein (TSPO) is a 18kDa transmembrane protein, ubiquitously present in human mitochondria. It is overexpressed in tumor cells and at the sites of neuroinflammation, thus representing an important biomarker, as well as a promising drug target. In mammalian TSPO, there are cholester...
