Gene information for SLC10A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6555
Official gene symbolSLC10A2
Full namesolute carrier family 10 (sodium/bile acid cotransporter family), member 2
Aliases,ASBT,IBAT,ISBT,NTCP2,PBAM,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a sodium/bile acid cotransporter. This transporter is the primary mechanism for uptake of intestinal bile acids by apical cells in the distal ileum. Bile acids are the catabolic product of cholesterol metabolism, so this protein is also critical for cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause primary bile acid malabsorption (PBAM); muatations in this gene may also be associated with other diseases of the liver and intestines, such as familial hypertriglyceridemia (FHTG).
