Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases, that spreads among individuals through blood or body fluids. According ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has a narrow host range, mainly infecting hominoids. A new study reveals the structural differences in the liver cell receptor (NTCP) between humans and monkeys, explaining why ...

Removing a nuclear bile acid receptor that regulates glucose and lipid stability from the intestine blocks gut inflammation ...

functions as a receptor for both vitamin D and secondary bile acids. The vitamin D receptor activates important detoxification genes that are targets of xenobiotic receptors. Xenobiotic receptors ...

In this study, the researchers experimentally verified that the pruritus caused by OCA is also mediated through the activation of the hX4 receptor. - Building on the bile acid activating hX4 ...

In both human muscle cells and mouse brown adipocytes, bile acids increased D2 activity and oxygen consumption by binding to the G-protein-coupled receptor TGR5, causing cyclic AMP levels to rise.
