Gene:
solute carrier family 10 (sodium/bile acid cotransporter family), member 1
Gene ID:
209564
Symbol:
SLC10A1
Species:
1000
Description:
Sodium/bile acid cotransporters are integral membrane glycoproteins that participate in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Two homologous transporters are involved in the reabsorption of bile acids, one absorbing from the intestinal lumen, the bile duct, and the kidney with an apical localization (SLC10A2; MIM 601295), and the other being found in the basolateral membranes of hepatocytes (SLC10A1).[supplied by OMIM]
