Function | Catalyzes the transport of the major hydrophobic bile salts, such as taurine and glycine-conjugated cholic acid across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in an ATP-dependent manner, therefore participates in hepatic bile acid homeostasis and consequently to lipid homeostasis through regulation of biliary lipid secretion in a bile salts dependent manner (PubMed:15791618, PubMed:16332456, PubMed:18985798, PubMed:19228692, PubMed:20010382, PubMed:20398791, PubMed:22262466, PubMed:24711118, PubMed:29507376, PubMed:32203132). Transports taurine-conjugated bile salts more rapidly than glycine-conjugated bile salts (PubMed:16332456). Also transports non-bile acid compounds, such as pravastatin and fexofenadine in an ATP-dependent manner and may be involved in their biliary excretion (PubMed:15901796, PubMed:18245269). |
Cellular Location | Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Recycling endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70127}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70127}. Endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70127}. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Internalized at the canalicular membrane through interaction with the adapter protein complex 2 (AP-2) (PubMed:22262466). At steady state, localizes in the canalicular membrane but is also present in recycling endosomes. ABCB11 constantly and rapidly exchanges between the two sites through tubulo-vesicles carriers that move along microtubules. Microtubule-dependent trafficking of ABCB11 is enhanced by taurocholate and cAMP and regulated by STK11 through a PKA-mediated pathway. Trafficking of newly synthesized ABCB11 through endosomal compartment to the bile canalicular membrane is accelerated by cAMP but not by taurocholate (By similarity). Cell membrane expression is up-regulated by short- and medium-chain fatty acids (PubMed:20398791) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20398791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22262466} |

Background
Bile Salt Export Pump (BSEP) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ABCB 11 gene. It is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, also known as ABCB11. It is mapped to chromosome 2q24. The BSEP protein is mainly expressed in the liver. ABCB11 is a gene associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) which caused by mutations in the ABCB11 gene will increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in early life.
