The bile canalicular membrane contains several ATP-dependent transporters that are involved in biliary secretion. Canalicular transporters are synthesized in ER, modified in Golgi and transported to the apical plasma membrane. However, the route and regulation of intracellular trafficking of ATP-dependent
