2013). ABCC2 has a function that is more removed from a direct correlation with NAFLD. It encodes a protein expressed in the apical area of the hepatocyte and functions in biliary transport, likely critical to the elimination of conjugates of many toxins from hepatocytes into bile (Nies and Keppler 2007) and likely predisposing liver toward injury from excessive adipose tissue (Sookoian et al. 2009). The gene discussed is ABCC2; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
