The ileal lipid binding protein is required for efficient absorption and transport of bile acids in the distal portion of the murine small intestine.

The ileal lipid binding protein is required for efficient absorption and transport of bile acids in the distal portion of the murine small intestine.

The ileal lipid binding protein (ilbp) is a cytoplasmic protein that binds bile acids with high affinity. However evidence demonstrating the role of this protein in bile acid transport and homeostasis is missing. We created a mouse strain lacking ilbp (Fabp6(-/-) mice) and assessed the impact of ilb...
