The myristoylated (myr) | Hepatitis B and D both rely on NTCP to bind and infect a human. HBV/HDV uses a similar mechanism as bile salt uptake within NTCP. The myristoylated (myr) <scene name='95/952711/Pres1_binding_area_on_ntcp/2'>PreS1 Binding</scene> domain of HBV is critical for its binding within the protein. Residues 8-17 within the pre-S1 domain were found to be most important in pre-S1 binding to NTCP. HBV/HDV uses the binding patches on the outside of the protein to successfully bind. HBV/HDV binding halts the uptake of bile salt, indicating that the tunnel formed within NTCP allows the uptake of bile salts and may also mediate the binding of HBV/HDV.
