Correctors modify the bicarbonate permeability of F508del-CFTR.

Abstract excerpt

One of the most common mutations in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients is the deletion of the amino acid phenylalanine at position 508. This mutation causes both the protein trafficking defect and an early degradation. Over time, small molecules, called correctors, capable of increasing the amount of mutated channel in the plasma membrane and causing an increase in its transport activity have been developed.
