Abstract excerpt
Dynamic regulation of ion channels is critical for maintaining fluid balance in epithelial tissues. Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease characterized by impaired fluid transport in epithelial tissues, is caused by dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel activity. Recent studies have shown that binding of PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain proteins to CFTR is important for...
