Activating cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator channels with pore blocker analogs.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations that disrupt the surface localization and/or gating of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. The most common CF mutant is deltaF508-CFTR, which inefficiently traffics to the surfaces of most cells. The deltaF508 mutation may also disrupt the opening of CFTR channels once they reach the cell surface, but the extent of this gating defect is...
