Abstract excerpt
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is caused by a mutation in the bile salt export pump (BSEP/ABCB11) gene. However, the mechanisms for the deficiency in the function of two mutations (E297G and D482G), which are frequently found in European patients, have not yet been identified. In the present study, we examined the transport activity and cellular localization of these two mutants in...
