Gerd A. Kullak-Ublick,Manfred G. Ismair,Bruno Stieger,Lukas Landmann,Robert Huber,Flavia Pizzagalli,Karin Fattinger,Peter J. Meier,Bruno Hagenbuch +8 more
TL;DR: OATP-B is the third bromosulphophthalein uptake system localized at the basolateral membrane of human hepatocytes and is the first to be characterized with respect to tissue distribution and hepatocellular localization.

Bile Salt Transporters
Peter J. Meier,Bruno Stieger +1 more
TL;DR: Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of these enterohepatic bile salt transporters is closely related to the regulation of lipid and cholesterol homeostasis, which has been recognized as important causes for various cholestatic liver diseases.
