Endocytic Trafficking Routes of Wild Type and ΔF508 Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator

Abstract excerpt

Intracellular trafficking of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a focus of attention because it is defective in most patients with cystic fibrosis. DeltaF508 CFTR, which does not mature conformationally, normally does not exit the endoplasmic reticulum, but if induced to do so at reduced temperature is short-lived at the surface. We used external epitope-tagged constructs to elucidate...
