Example sentences for: ibat
How can you use “ibat” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Increased bile acid transport in cftr (-/-) mice is associated with an increase in the abundance of IBAT protein in the brush border membrane.
A 1:20 dilution of anti-IBAT protein antibodies was applied for one hour.
IBAT: ileal bile acid transporter; CFTR: cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
An alternative mechanism for the upregulation of IBAT in cystic fibrosis is that CFTR acts as a negative regulator of IBAT, as it does for the epithelial sodium channel [ 36 ] . As IBAT is a sodium-dependent apical membrane transporter, it might be regulated by CFTR, as is the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) present in the apical membrane of the ileal enterocyte.
The correlation between zygosity and level of IBAT protein expression suggests a close relationship between the function of the CFTR chloride channel and the sodium-dependent ileal bile acid transporter.
