Upon entry into the hepatocyte, bilirubin (BIL) can bind to one of two cytosolic binding proteins; glutathione S-transferase A1 (GSTA1 aka ligandin, Y-protein), a major cytosolic protein that has both transport and detoxification functions or fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1 aka Z-protein) (Levi et al. 1969, Simons & Jagt 1980, Arias 2012). It is assumed GSTA1 transports BIL to the ER where it is detoxified by conjugation with a glucuronosyl moiety.
