Fibroblast growth factor 15 functions as an enterohepatic signal to regulate bile acid homeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor 15 signals from intestine to liver to repress the gene encoding cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), which catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the classical bile acid synthetic pathway.
