Abstract excerpt
Biliary excretion of bile salts and other bile constituents from hepatocytes is mediated by the apical (canalicular) transporters P-glycoprotein 3 (MDR3, ABCB4) and the bile salt export pump (ABCB11). Mutations in ABCB4 and ABCB11 contribute to cholestatic diseases [e.g., progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 2 (PFIC2), PFIC3, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy], and our objective was to establish...
