Function
(Microbial infection) Acts as an entry receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV). The recognition for human SLC10A1/NTCP is highly specific.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in liver. Expressed in placental trophoblasts
Disease Association: Hypercholanemia, familial, 2 (FHCA2) : An autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized by persistently increased plasma levels of conjugated bile salts apparent from infancy, fat malabsorption and impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including D and K. Most patients are asymptomatic. Some neonates may have transient jaundice or transiently elevated liver enzymes. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
