Bile Salt Export Pump 0
The bile salt export pump (BSEP) is a crucial protein located in the liver that facilitates the transport of bile acids from hepatocytes into the bile canaliculi, playing a vital role in bile formation and cholesterol metabolism. Mutations or dysfunctions in BSEP can lead to liver diseases such as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and drug-induced liver injury.
