Abstract excerpt
To attenuate injury during cholestasis, adaptive changes in bile acid transporter expression in the liver provide alternative bile acid excretory pathways. Apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) (SLC10A2), only expressed in the liver on the cholangiocyte apical membrane, is rapidly regulated in response to inflammation and bile acids. Here, we studied the mechanisms controlling ASBT protein levels...
