Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B is a widespread viral infection and a major global public health concern. The human sodium taurocholate co-transporter polypeptide (NTCP) serves as a key receptor for the hepatitis B virus (HBV), enabling its entry into hepatocytes. Understanding how specific NTCP mutations influence its stability and interaction with HBV is critical for elucidating mechanisms of viral infectivity and resistance. This...
