Abstract excerpt
TGR5, the G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), has been linked to inflammatory pathways and homeostasis, and could therefore be involved in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a chronic inflammatory bile duct disease associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). In addition, the TGR5 gene is localized at chromosome 2q35, close to a genetic variant associated with both PSC and UC in recent genome-wide...
