A structural and mechanistic model for BSEP dysfunction in PFIC2 cholestatic disease

2024-07-30

Abstract excerpt

BSEP ( ABCB11 ) transports bile salts across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes, where they are incorporated into bile. Biallelic mutations in BSEP can cause Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 2 (PFIC2), a rare pediatric disease characterized by hepatic bile acid accumulation leading to hepatotoxicity and, ultimately, liver failure. The most frequently occurring PFIC2 disease-causing mutation...
