Involved in several processes, including bile acid and bile salt transport; positive regulation of establishment of protein localization; and positive regulation of protein glycosylation. Acts upstream of or within organic substance transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in liver and small intestine. Orthologous to human SLC51B (SLC51 subunit beta).
