Modern approaches to bile acid transport proteins.
New techniques for studying solute uptake across epithelial membranes in the gut are providing a clearer picture of bile acid handling. In the small intestine, liver, and other sites, membrane proteins that mediate active bile acid transport are key players. Better understanding of these transporters may lead to elucidation of disorders of bile handling and better treatment of such disorders.
