Enables bile acid transmembrane transporter activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including bile acid and bile salt transport; positive regulation of intracellular protein transport; and positive regulation of protein glycosylation. Acts upstream of or within organic substance transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is integral component of membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in small intestine. Orthologous to human SLC51B (solute carrier family 51 subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
