Supplementary information

ABCB4 also known as MDR3 is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family with a molecular weight of approximately 140 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in the liver. Its primary mechanical function involves the translocation of phosphatidylcholine from the inner to the outer leaflet of the hepatocyte membrane into bile.

Biological function summary

This phospholipid translocation is essential for the formation of bile that is non-toxic and aids in digestion. ABCB4 does not function alone; it operates as a part of a heterocomplex with other proteins that contribute to bile formation and secretion. The absence or dysfunction of this target results in imbalanced bile composition which can negatively impact liver function.

Pathways

The ABCB4 protein plays a significant role in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. It interacts closely with the bile salt export pump (BSEP) to facilitate the secretion of bile acids into bile. This protein is also linked to the phospholipid transport exact in the hepatic pathways collaborating with other ABC transporters such as ABCB11 underpinning the finely tuned processes that maintain hepatic homeostasis.

Mutations or deficiencies in ABCB4 are commonly associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Defects in the function of this protein lead to toxic bile accumulation causing cholestasis. Other related proteins such as ABCB11 and ATP8B1 may also influence the occurrence of these disorders due to their overlapping roles in hepatobiliary transport processes.

Target data

Isoform 1. Energy-dependent phospholipid efflux translocator that acts as a positive regulator of biliary lipid secretion. Functions as a floppase that translocates specifically phosphatidylcholine (PC) from the inner to the outer leaflet of the canalicular membrane bilayer into the canaliculi of hepatocytes. Translocation of PC makes the biliary phospholipids available for extraction into the canaliculi lumen by bile salt mixed micelles and therefore protects the biliary tree from the detergent activity of bile salts (PubMed : 17523162, PubMed : 21820390, PubMed : 23468132, PubMed : 24594635, PubMed : 24723470, PubMed : 24806754, PubMed : 31873305, PubMed : 7957936, PubMed : 8898203, PubMed : 9366571). Plays a role in the recruitment of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and sphingomyelin (SM) molecules to nonraft membranes and to further enrichment of SM and cholesterol in raft membranes in hepatocytes (PubMed : 23468132). Required for proper phospholipid bile formation (By similarity). Indirectly involved in cholesterol efflux activity from hepatocytes into the canalicular lumen in the presence of bile salts in an ATP-dependent manner (PubMed : 24045840). Promotes biliary phospholipid secretion as canaliculi-containing vesicles from the canalicular plasma membrane (PubMed : 28012258, PubMed : 9366571). In cooperation with ATP8B1, functions to protect hepatocytes from the deleterious detergent activity of bile salts (PubMed : 21820390). Does not confer multidrug resistance (By similarity).
