ABCB11

Chr 2AR

ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 11

Also known as: ABC16, BRIC2, BSEP, PFIC-2, PFIC2, PGY4, SPGP

NCBI Gene: 8647 ENSG00000073734 UniProt: O95342 OMIM: 603201

This gene encodes the bile salt export pump, which transports bile salts across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in an ATP-dependent manner and is essential for hepatic bile acid homeostasis. Mutations cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 and benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2, both presenting with severe cholestatic liver disease that can manifest from early infancy. The inheritance pattern is autosomal recessive.

OMIM ResearchSummary from RefSeq, OMIM, UniProt

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The protein encoded by this gene is the major canalicular bile salt export pump in man. Mutations in this gene cause a form of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestases which are a group of inherited disorders with severe cholestatic liver disease from early infancy.
