Abstract excerpt
The bile salt export pump (BSEP) encoded by ABCB11 is located in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes and mediates the secretion of numerous conjugated bile salts into the bile canaliculus. In this study, 28 ABCB11 exons (including non-coding exon 1) and their flanking introns were comprehensively screened for genetic variations in 120 Japanese subjects. Fifty-nine genetic variations, including 19 novel ones,...
