Abstract excerpt
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a phosphorylation-activated Cl channel responsible for adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-induced Cl secretion across the apical membranes of epithelial cells. To optimize its detection for membrane localization studies, we tagged CFTR with epitope sequences at the carboxy terminus or in the fourth external loop. When epitopes were added...
