The role of bile salt export pump mutations in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type II
2002-10-01
Abstract excerpt
PFIC II is a subtype of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) that is associated with mutations in the ABCB11 gene encoding the bile salt export pump (BSEP).However it is not known how these mutations cause this disease.To evaluate these mechanisms, we introduced seven PFIC II-associated missense mutations into rat Bsep and assessed their effects on Bsep membrane localization and transport function...
