Gall Bladder Mucocele Formation (Shetland Sheepdog Type)
Description

ABCB4 functions as a phosphatidylcholine translocater, flipping phosphatidylcholine across hepatocyte canalicular membranes into biliary canaliculi.

Hepatobiliary disease in dogs has been recognized with increased frequency during the past several years.

In particular, gallbladder mucoceles (mucinous hyperplasia or mucinous cholecystitis) have been documented to be an increasingly important cause of hepatobiliary disease in dogs.
