Mouse Bile Salt Export Pump, ABCB11 ELISA Kit

Catalyzes the transport of the major hydrophobic bile salts, such as taurine and glycine-conjugated cholic acid across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in an ATP-dependent manner, therefore participates to hepatic bile acids homeostasis and consequently to lipid homeostasis through regulation of biliary lipid secretion in a bile salts dependent manner (PubMed:14570929, PubMed:11172067, PubMed:23764895, PubMed:22619174, PubMed:19228692). Transports taurine-conjugated bile salts more rapidly than glycine-conjugated bile salts (By similarity). Also transports non-bile acid compounds, such as pravastatin and fexofenadine in an ATP-dependent manner and may be involved in their biliary excretion (By similarity).
