Mechanisms of canalicular transporter endocytosis in the cholestatic rat liver

In conclusion, our findings show that CME is the mechanism responsible for the internalization of the canalicular transporters BSEP and MRP2 in E17G-induced cholestasis. The shift of these transporters from raft to non-raft microdomains could be a prerequisite for the transporters to be endocytosed under cholestatic conditions.
