Sodium/bile acid cotransporter also known as the

polypeptide (NTCP) or liver bile acid transporter (LBAT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC10A1 (solute carrier family 10 member 1) gene.[5][6]

Structure

Sodium/bile acid cotransporters are integral membrane glycoproteins. Human NTCP contains 349 amino acids and has a mass of 56 kDa.[7]

Function

basolateral membranes of hepatocytes (NTCP).[7]

As a cotransporter, NTCP binds two sodium ions and one (conjugated)

Hepatitis virus entry

NTCP is a cell surface receptor necessary for the entry of

SLC10A1-deficiency

Individuals that lack functional NTCP have been identified.[11] These individuals display highly elevated bile salt levels in plasma, but without a clear phenotype. In areas of the world with a high prevalence of HBV, there are multiple individuals who carry the NTCP p.S267F polymorphism on both alleles; this makes NTCP inactive as a bile acid transporter, but provides protection against HBV infection.[12]

NTCP-deficient mice have also been created. These mice have reduced hepatic bile salt uptake but plasma bile salt levels are less clearly elevated, as the rodent-specific OATP1a/1b transporters provide can partially replace the function of NTCP.[13] Nevertheless, this NTCP-knockout animal model pointed to possible additional (non-HBV) aspects of NTCP-deficiency. NTCP-deficient mice are partially protected against the problems associated with a high-calorie diet, including excessive weight gain[14] and to liver damage in cholestasis.[15] These effects of NTCP deficiency have not yet been replicated in humans.
