Abstract excerpt
The CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene, defective in cystic fibrosis, codes for a polytopic apical membrane protein functioning as a chloride channel. Wild-type (wt) CFTR matures inefficiently and CFTR with a deletion of Phe-508 (F508del), the most frequent mutation, is substantially retained as a core-glycosylated intermediate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), probably due to...
