The dye bromsulphthalein is commonly used to assess the function of this organ, since it is transported by the OATPfamily of membrane proteins.
The dye bromsulphthalein is commonly used to assess the function of this organ, since it is transported by the OATPfamily of membrane proteins. The etiology of a well-known disease affecting this organ is the same as that for a "silent" conditionabbreviated NASH. Substances demonstrating the fiÂrst-pass effect have their concentrations greatly diminished by thetime they enter this organ. The polyhedral-shaped cells of this organ secrete substances that are collected by canaliculi. Thisorgan is the main site of synthesis of transferrin, which has very high affinity for iron-III. This organ secretes the majority ofangiotensinogen, which is the precursor to angiotensin, as well as the bulk of the most abundant protein in the blood plasma.In this organ, glucuronic acid is added to a substance produced here, which is responsible for the color of bruises and feces.This organ thus completes the catabolism of heme begun by the spleen. For 10 points, name this organ from which bilirubinis excreted via bile.
