Fatty acid binding to plasma albumin.

TL;DR: A review of the available information about fatty acid binding to plasma albumin is presented, and stepwise association constants for binding to human albumin of fatty acids containing 6-18 carbon atoms indicate that each mole of fatty acid binds with a different affinity.

The Glutathione S‐Transferases: A Group of Multifunctional Detoxification Proteins

TL;DR: There appears to be sufficient enzyme for all three roles in detoxification of glutathione S-transferases; the binding of bilirubin is an example of a major function common to all higher species.

Enterohepatic circulation: physiological, pharmacokinetic and clinical implications.

TL;DR: Enterohepatic recycling occurs by biliary excretion and intestinal reabsorption of a solute, sometimes with hepatic conjugation and intestinal deconjugation, and may prolong the pharmacological effect of certain drugs and drug metabolites.

The fatty acid transport function of fatty acid-binding proteins.

TL;DR: Data from a number of experimental approaches have provided strong support for defining the FABPs as fatty acid transport proteins, and further studies are necessary to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms by which cellular fatty acid trafficking is modulated by theFABPs.

The Determination of Enzyme Dissociation Constants

TL;DR: On the basis of the assumed theory the rate of the observed reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate compound, where (E:l = (ES).

Two hepatic cytoplasmic protein fractions, Y and Z, and their possible role in the hepatic uptake of bilirubin, sulfobromophthalein, and other anions

TL;DR: Two hepatic cytoplasmic protein fractions, designated Y and Z, which bind sulfobromophthalein (BSP), bilirubin, and other organic anions, have been separated by G75 Sephadex gel filtration and appear to be important in the transfer of Organic anions from plasma into the liver.

Ligandin: a Hepatic Protein which Binds Steroids, Bilirubin, Carcinogens and a Number of Exogenous Organic Anions

TL;DR: Three protein preparations from the rat liver 100,000g supernatant fraction have been independently purified to homogeneity, and they are basic azodye carcinogen-binding protein (β-ABP), corticosteroid Binder I3,4 and Y protein5.

Studies of Y and Z, two hepatic cytoplasmic organic anion-binding proteins: effect of drugs, chemicals, hormones, and cholestasis

TL;DR: The hypothesis that Y and Z are involved in the transfer of BSP, ICG, and possibly other organic anions from plasma into the liver is supported.
