Bile salt transporters directly or indirectly influence biological processes through physicochemical or signalling properties of bile salts. The coordinated action of uptake and efflux transporters in polarized epithelial cells of the liver, biliary tree, small intestine and kidney determine bile salt concentrations in different compartments of the body. Genetic variations of bile salt transporters lead to clinical relevant phenotypes of varying severity ranging from a predisposition for drug-induced liver injury to rapidly progressing end-stage liver disease. This review focuses on the impact of genetic variations of bile salt transporters including BSEP, NTCP, ASBT and OSTalpha/beta and discusses approaches for transporter analysis.
