| + | ==== HBV/HDV Binding Pocket ==== | ||
The binding pocket of NTCP contains two patches on its exterior. These two patches are used for assisting in the binding of bile salts into the binding tunnel. These external patches are extremely important for aiding in the transport of bile salts from the exterior of NTCP to the interior binding tunnel <ref name="Asami"/>. Patch 1 is made up of residues 84-87 of NTCP and Patch 2 consists of residues 157-165. Patch 1 is located on the poles of NTCP, namely the top of the structure, within the TM2-TM3 transmembrane loop, whereas patch 2 is located towards the middle of the NTCP molecule within transmembrane 5 (TM5). These two patches are also predominantly responsible for binding the preS1 binding region of the HBV/HDV virus. Patch 2 also forms a part of the binding tunnel previously mentioned <ref name="Asami"/>. | The binding pocket of NTCP contains two patches on its exterior.
