Compensatory role of P-glycoproteins in knockout mice lacking the bile salt export pump #
20 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Bile salt export pump (BSEP; ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 11) mutations in humans result in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2, a fatal liver disease with greatly reduced bile flow. However in mice, Bsep knockout leads only to mild cholestasis with substantial bile flow and up-regulated P-glycoprotein genes (multidrug resistance protein 1a [Mdr1a] and Mdr1b). To...
