previous studies indicated that when the mitochondrial translocator protein is in the c-state ( i.e. , when its binding site faces the cytosol side ) the protein binds primarily the ligand carboxyatractylate ( cat ) , and when the translocator protein is in the m-state ( i.e. , when its binding site faces the mitochondrial matrix ) the translocator protein binds primarily bongkrekate .
