Mechanistic insights into the inhibition of NTCP by myrcludex B
Background & aims: The sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) is the entry receptor for the hepatitis B and delta virus (HBV/HDV) and the main hepatic uptake transporter of conjugated bile acids. Myrcludex B, a synthetic peptide mimicking the NTCP-binding domain of HBV, blocks HB...
