Background The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a functional receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV). NTCP-reconstituted human hepatoma cells support HBV infection, but the infection is suboptimal and no apparent HBV spread has been ...

Establishment of a Monoclonal Antibody against Human NTCP That Blocks Hepatitis B Virus Infection
A number of entry inhibitors are being developed to enhance the treatment of HBV patients with oral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NA). To amplify the effectiveness of NA therapy, several efforts have been made to develop therapeutic MAbs with ...

Hepatic bile salt uptake:The role of NTCP revisited [PDF]
NTCP is een cruciale transporter van geconjugeerde galzouten binnen de enterohepatische kringloop van galzouten. Wij hebben diens functioneren onderzocht in een NTCP-knockout muis en met een specifieke farmacologische NTCP-remmer myrcludex B.

Molecular regulation of the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter and HBV entry receptor NTCP.
Transporters expressed by hepatocytes and enterocytes play a critical role in maintaining the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), exclusively expressed at the basolateral side of hepatocytes,

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are associated with obesity. They are accompanied by increased levels of free cholesterol in the liver. Most free cholesterol resides within the plasma membrane.

The sodium/bile acid cotransporter NTCP was recently identified as a receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV). NTCP is glycosylated and the role of glycans in protein trafficking or viral receptor activity is not known.

Curcumin inhibited hepatitis B viral entry through NTCP binding
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been implicated in hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current agents (nucleos(t)ide analogs and interferons) could only attenuate HBV infection. A combination of agents targeting different stages of viral life cycle (e.g.,

Three carriers of the solute carrier family SLC10 have been functionally characterized so far. Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide NTCP is a hepatic bile acid transporter and the cellular entry receptor for the hepatitis B and D viruses.

The Use of Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) Models in the Clinic
The QUANTEC (quantitative analysis of normal tissue effects in the clinic) review summarizes the currently-available three dimensional dose/volume/outcome data to update and refine the normal tissue dose/volume tolerance guidelines provided by the ...

NTCP deficiency in mice protects against obesity and hepatosteatosis [PDF]
Bile acids play a major role in the regulation of lipid and energy metabolism. Here we propose the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter Na+ taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as a target to prolong postprandial bile acid elevations in plasma.
