4,4-Di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulphonic acid inhibition of taurocholate efflux from canalicular vesicles was used to demonstrate that potential driven and ‘carrier’-mediated canalicular excretion of taurocholate occur via a common, rather than two separate, pathways. This electrogenic canalicular bile acid ‘carrier ’ preferentially transports trihydroxylated and conjugated dihydroxylated bile acids, but not the unphysiological oxo bile acids, and possibly extends its substrate specificity to other amphipathic molecules such as sulphobromophthalein.

Bile acids are cholesterol derivatives that serve as detergents in bile and the small intestine. Approximately 95% of bile acids secreted by hepatocytes into bile are absorbed from the distal ileum into the portal venous system. Extraction from the portal circulation by the hepatocyte followed by reexcretion into the bile canaliculus completes the enterohepatic circulation of these compounds. Over the past few years, candidate bile acid transport proteins of the sinusoidal and canalicular plasma membranes of the hepatocyte have been identified. The physiology of hepatocyte bile acid transport and its relationship to these transport proteins is the subject of this Themes article.
