It is shown that the BLINaC protein localizes to cholangiocytes, epithelial cells that line bile ducts and is proposed to be a bile acid‐sensitive ion channel (BASIC), which is related to acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs), and shares ligand activation with ASICs and epithelial localization with ENaC.
