Promotes the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes and may play a role in lipid metabolism (PubMed:24814875), but its precise physiological role is controversial. It is apparently not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis. Was initially identified as peripheral- type benzodiazepine receptor, can also bind isoquinoline carboxamides (PubMed:1847678).
