Function

Also known as TGR5. Linked to ERK signaling, which is activated in ciliated cholangiocytes but inhibited in nonciliated cholangiocytes. Involved in bile acid-induced proliferation of nonciliated cells. Its localisation allows cholangiocyte functional responses to bile acid signaling(39572588). TGR5 is a bile acid receptor (GPCR) expressed in cholangiocytes and localized to several cellular compartments, especially the apical membrane, primary cilium, and nucleus. Its function depends strongly on whether the cell has a primary cilium. When activated, TGR5 produces opposite signaling effects in ciliated versus nonciliated cells: in nonciliated cells, it increases cAMP and cell proliferation via Gαs signaling, while in ciliated cells, it decreases cAMP, activates ERK signaling, and inhibits proliferation via Gαi signaling. These differences highlight that ciliary localization of TGR5 is critical in determining cellular responses to bile acids and may play an important role in cilia-related liver diseases such as polycystic liver disease(PMID: 23578785).
