Molecular Mechanisms in Bile Formation.

چکیده
Active canalicular secretion of bile salts and non-bile salt organic anions represents the major driving force of hepatic bile formation. The most important carriers involved have now been cloned on both the basolateral and canalicular sides of hepatocytes. Elucidation of their structure, transport properties, and regulation is an important step forward in the ultimate understanding of the molecular physiology of bile formation.

The molecular mechanisms of HDL and associated vesicular trafficking mechanisms to mediate cellular lipid homeostasis.
HDL functions mainly as a cholesterol scavenger, facilitating transport of cholesterol to the liver for conversion to bile acids and secretion into the bile for elimination or recycling in the enterohepatic bile acid cycle. Because of its major function in cholesterol clearance, HDL is in general considered to be atheroprotective. From cell cholesterol can be removed by efflux especially to apo...

متن کاملNew molecular insights into the mechanisms of cholestasis.
Recent progress in basic research has enhanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of normal bile secretion and their alterations in cholestasis. Genetic transporter variants contribute to an entire spectrum of cholestatic liver diseases and can cause hereditary cholestatic syndromes or determine susceptibility and disease progression in acquired cholestatic disorders. Cholestasis is ...
متن کاملMechanisms of bile formation and cholestasis: clinical significance of recent experimental work.
The last decade has been witness to an exponential increase in our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in hepatic bile formation and intrahepatic cholestasis, defined herein as impaired formation of canalicular bile. This review will provide a summary of recent experimental work, with particular reference to the clinical implications of this information. For further in-depth di...
متن کاملFormation of bile acid glucosides by a sugar nucleotide-independent glucosyltransferase isolated from human liver microsomes.
A heat-labile protein has been detected in microsomes from human liver which catalyzes the formation of glucosides of the bile acids chenodeoxycholic, deoxycholic, and ursodeoxycholic acids. This glucosyltransferase activity has been purified about 900-fold from human liver microsomes, resulting in homogeneity as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The subunit molecular we...
