What is the function of this protein?
Catalyzes the transport of the major hydrophobic bile salts, such as taurine and glycine-conjugated cholic acid across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in an ATP-dependent manner, therefore participates in hepatic bile acid homeostasis and consequently to lipid homeostasis through regulation of biliary lipid secretion in a bile salts dependent manner.  Transports taurine-conjugated bile salts more rapidly than glycine-conjugated bile salts.  Also transports non-bile acid compounds, such as pravastatin and fexofenadine in an ATP-dependent manner and may be involved in their biliary excretion.
What are the official names of this protein?
Bile salt export pump, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 11, Sister of P-glycoprotein.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCB family. Multidrug resistance exporter (TC 3.A.1.201) subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Recycling endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Internalized at the canalicular membrane through interaction with the adapter protein complex 2 (AP-2). At steady state, localizes in the canalicular membrane but is also present in recycling endosomes. ABCB11 constantly and rapidly exchanges between the two sites through tubulo-vesicles carriers that move along microtubules. Microtubule-dependent trafficking of ABCB11 is enhanced by taurocholate and cAMP and regulated by STK11 through a PKA-mediated pathway. Trafficking of newly synthesized ABCB11 through endosomal compartment to the bile canalicular membrane is accelerated by cAMP but not by taurocholate (By similarity). Cell membrane expression is up- regulated by short- and medium-chain fatty acids (By similarity).
