Abstract
A large number of membrane transport mechanisms in hepatocytes and cholangi ocytes serves for the secretion of bile acids, various other organic anions , organic cations, lipids, and electrolytes. After their functional charact erization, some of these mechanisms' individual transport molecules are now identified allowing better understanding of inherited and acquired disorde rs of bile formation.
