It has an approximate mass of 143 kDa. The protein primarily facilitates the transport of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine from the outer to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. ATP8B1 is expressed mostly in the liver and small intestine indicating its significant role in those organs.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nATP8B1 maintains lipid asymmetry in cellular membranes which is critical for cell function and survival. It does not act alone; instead it pairs with CDC50A functioning in a complex to regulate membrane dynamics. This lipid transport activity helps to establish the essential structure of cellular membranes and contributes to bile secretion processes in hepatocytes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nATP8B1 serves an essential function in the bile acid transport pathway. It interacts closely with proteins involved in cholesterol metabolism and excretion such as ABCB11. Efficient bile acid transport is important for maintaining proper liver function and cholesterol homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nATP8B1 mutations are directly linked to progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1) a severe liver disease resulting in impaired bile flow. Mutations in ATP8B1 also associate with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC1). These conditions reveal a connection between ATP8B1 and bile salt export pump (BSEP) highlighting the protein's importance in maintaining liver health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854240403625,"sku":"ab234761","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab234761","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
