title: Bile acid transporters.
abstract: The sodium-dependent bile acid transporters and sodium-independent organic anion transporters are integral membrane glycoproteins that function in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. The recent cloning and expression of different classes of bile acid transporters have provided insights into their structure and molecular mechanism.
