A hepatocyte is a cell of the main parenchymal tissue of the liver. Hepatocytes make up 70-85% of the liver's mass. These cells are involved in: 1  Protein synthesis. 2  Protein storage. 3  Transformation of carbohydrates. 4  Synthesis of cholesterol, bile salts and phospholipids.
Hepatocytes perform most of the liverâs functions â metabolism, storage, digestion, and bile production. Tiny bile collection vessels known as bile canaliculi run parallel to the sinusoids on the other side of the hepatocytes and drain into the bile ducts of the liver.
