Soluble Adenylyl Cyclase Regulates Bile Salt‐Induced Apoptosis in Human Cholangiocytes
Anion exchanger 2 (AE2), the principal bicarbonate secretor in the human biliary tree, is down‐regulated in primary biliary cholangitis. AE2 creates a “bicarbonate umbrella” that protects cholangiocytes from the proapoptotic effects of bile salts by maintaining them deprotonated. We observed that kn...
