Many polar and | + | NTCP, among others in the SLC10 family, have <scene name='95/952721/Sodium_binding/2'>two sodium binding sites</scene>. Many polar and negatively charged residues are characteristic of these active sites. The high level of conservation among sodium binding placement and interacting residues suggests sodium binding is coupled to bile salt transport. Additional mutations in the X-motif near sodium binding sites have shown that bile salt transport function is lost also suggesting that sodium allows bile salt binding. |

This also allows for sodium concentrations to regulate uptake of taurocholates. When intracellular sodium levels are higher, open-pore state is favored allowing for the diffusion of taurocholates. However, when extracellular sodium levels are high, closed-state is favored preventing diffusion of taurocholates. <ref name="Goutam"/> | <Ref name = "Goutam"> Goutam, K., Ielasi, F.S., Pardon, E. et al.
