The macrophage marker translocator protein (TSPO) is down-regulated on pro-inflammatory 'M1' human macrophages
The translocator protein (TSPO) is a mitochondrial membrane protein, of as yet uncertain function. Its purported high expression on activated macrophages, has lent utility to TSPO targeted molecular imaging in the form of positron emission tomography (PET), as a means to detect and quantify inflamma...
