Abstract excerpt
Mutation of phenylalanine at position 508 in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (F508del CFTR) yields a protein unstable at physiological temperatures that is rapidly degraded in the cell. This mutation is present in about 90% of cystic fibrosis patients, hence there is great interest in compounds reversing its instability. We have previously reported the expression of the mutated protein at...
