The expression of nonglycosylated organic anion transporting polypeptides OATP1B1/3, OATP2B1 and nonglycosylated Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) were found to be increased in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis using gene array data and subsequent Western blot analysis of human liver donors (44). The gene discussed is SLCO2B1; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
