The SLC10 family transport bile acids, sulphated solutes, and other xenobiotics in a sodium-dependent manner. The founding members, SLC10A1 (NTCP) and SLC10A2 (ASBT) function, along with members of the ABC transporter family (MDR1/ABCB1, BSEP/ABCB11 and MRP2/ABCC2) and the organic solute transporter obligate heterodimer OSTα:OSTβ (SLC51), to maintain the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids [5,17]. SLC10A6 (SOAT) functions as a sodium-dependent transporter of sulphated solutes including sulfphated steroids and bile acids [8,10]. Transport function has not yet been demonstrated for the 4 remaining members of the SLC10 family, SLC10A3 (P3), SLC10A4 (P4), SLC10A5 (P5), and SLC10A7 (P7), and the identity of their endogenous substrates remain unknown [7,10,13,20]. Members of the SLC10 family are predicted to have seven transmembrane domains with an extracellular N-terminus and cytoplasmic C-terminus [1,14].
