TSPOAP1 (TSPO Associated Protein 1): TSPOAP1 is a gene that encodes a protein linked to the translocator protein (TSPO), which plays a role in mitochondrial function and steroidogenesis. It is involved in regulating cholesterol transport and mitochondrial respiration. Although its precise functions are still under investigation, TSPOAP1 may affect cellular energy metabolism and could be relevant to neurodegenerative diseases and mood disorders.
