Organic solute transporter beta, also known as OST-beta, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the OSTB gene.[5][6]

Function

[edit]

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]
