Abstract excerpt
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is commonly mutated in cystic fibrosis to the delta F508 CFTR. CFTR has been shown to function as a adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent Cl- channel at the cell surface, and there is evidence to suggest that CFTR may also have a role in transmembrane Cl- conductance in intracellular membrane compartments. Studies using cells from cystic...
