title: Structure-specific inhibition by bile acids of adenosine triphosphate-dependent taurocholate transport in rat canalicular membrane vesicles.
abstract: The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent transport system is a major determinant of canalicular bile acid secretion. The system transports bile acids and neither organic cations nor non-bile acid organic anions, such as glucuronides or glutathione adducts. To define the structural specificity of the ATP-dependent system, the authors examined the ability of various bile acids to inhibit ATP-dependent taurocholate transport by rat liver canalicular membrane vesicles. Only bile acids with a negative charge inhibited transport, which was unaffected by side chain length. Conjugated, but not unconjugated, mono- and di-hydroxy bile acids inhibited transport. The presence of 7 alpha- and 12 alpha-hydroxylation also influenced inhibition of ATP-dependent taurocholate transport. Inhibition of transport by bile acids was kinetically competitive. These results suggest that the canalicular ATP-dependent bile acid transport system depends on bile acid side chain charge, conjugation, and hydroxylation.
