Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The most common cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation F508del inhibits the gating and surface expression of CFTR, a plasma membrane anion channel. Optimal pharmacotherapies will probably require both a 'potentiator' to increase channel open probability and a 'corrector' that improves folding and trafficking of the mutant protein and its stability at the cell surface. Interaction between CF drugs...
