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) pre-S1 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 may also mediate the binding of HBV/HDV[[Media:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04845-4]]
