Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health challenge. While sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) is the primary receptor for HBV entry, the molecular mechanisms regulating NTCP-mediated viral entry remain incompletely understood. Here, we identified CD46 as a crucial regulatory factor for NTCP membrane expression. We found that CD46 interacted with NTCP in cis at the plasma membrane through proximity-based labeling screening. The depletion of CD46 significantly reduced cell-surface NTCP levels and HBV infection in hepatocytes. Anti-CD46 monoclonal antibodies, particularly clone E4.3, inhibited HBV infection by triggering NTCP internalization from the plasma membrane to intracellular vesicles. The antiviral effect of CD46 antibodies was also confirmed in primary human hepatocytes. Our study reveals a previously unknown cis-acting mechanism regulating NTCP-mediated HBV entry and suggests CD46 as a potential therapeutic target for HBV infection.
