Impaired pancreatic ductal bicarbonate secretion in cystic fibrosis.

Abstract excerpt

Patients with cystic fibrosis demonstrate a defect in HCO(3)(-) secretion by their pancreatic duct cells. However, attempts toward understanding or correcting this defect have been hampered by a lack of knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating HCO(3)(-) transport in these cells. Recent functional and molecular studies indicate a major role for a basolateral electrogenically-driven...
