Function | Essential component of the Ost-alpha/Ost-beta complex, a heterodimer that acts as the intestinal basolateral transporter responsible for bile acid export from enterocytes into portal blood. Efficiently transports the major species of bile acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16317684}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane upon interacting with SLC51B (By similarity). Mainly restricted to the lateral and basal membranes of ileal enterocytes. {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with a high expression in ileum. Expressed in testis, colon, liver, small intestine, kidney, ovary and adrenal gland; and at low levels in heart, lung, brain, pituitary, thyroid gland, uterus, prostate, mammary gland and fat. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12719432, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16317684}. |
