Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Organic solute transporter beta , also known as OST-beta , is a protein which in humans is encoded by the OSTB gene .[ 5] [ 6]
OST-beta together with OST-alpha is able to transport estrone sulfate , taurocholate , digoxin , and prostaglandin E2 across cell membranes .[ 6] [ 7] The Ost-alpha / Ost-beta heterodimer, but not the individual subunits, stimulates sodium-independent bile acid uptake.[ 7] The heterodimer furthermore is essential for intestinal bile acid transport.[ 8]
OST-alpha and OST-beta have high expression in the testis, colon, liver, small intestine, kidney, ovary, and adrenal gland.[ 6]
