SLC51B also known as OST-beta forms a heterodimer with SLC51A (OST-alpha) to function as an organic solute transporter involved in bile acid transport. This protein has a molecular mass of around 15 kDa. It is predominantly found in the ileum and liver key locations for bile acid circulation and metabolism. SLC51B localization to the basolateral membrane of enterocytes allows it to mediate transport across cellular barriers.
Biological function summary

SLC51B plays an important role in enterohepatic circulation by facilitating the transport of bile acids and steroids. It works as part of a transporter complex when combined with OST-alpha enhancing transport efficiency. This function helps in maintaining bile acid homeostasis and supports lipid digestion and absorption. SLC51B's activity assists in controlling cholesterol levels and prevents the accumulation of toxic bile acid concentrations within cells.

Pathways

The activity of SLC51B is integral to the enterohepatic bile acid recycling pathway and lipid metabolism pathways. It collaborates with proteins like NTCP and ASBT which are important for bile acid uptake in hepatocytes and enterocytes respectively. These pathways ensure efficient bile acid transport beginning from the liver its reabsorption in the intestines and return to the liver illustrating its central role in maintaining metabolic balance.

SLC51B plays a significant part in conditions like cholestasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Its role in bile acid transport links it to cholestasis where bile flow is reduced and its dysfunction can exacerbate the disease. Furthermore it associates with proteins such as FXR which regulates bile acid homeostasis and impacts inflammatory pathways contributing to the pathology of IBD. Understanding the relationship of SLC51B in these disorders highlights potential areas for therapeutic intervention.

Target data

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 (PubMed : 16317684). Modulates SLC51A glycosylation, membrane trafficking and stability activities (PubMed : 16317684). The Ost-alpha/Ost-beta complex efficiently transports the major species of bile acids (taurocholate) (PubMed : 16317684). Taurine conjugates are transported more efficiently across the basolateral membrane than glycine-conjugated bile acids (By similarity). Can also transport steroids such as estrone 3-sulfate and dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate, therefore playing a role in the enterohepatic circulation of sterols (PubMed : 16317684). Able to transport eicosanoids such as prostaglandin E2 (By similarity).
