Abstract excerpt
Mutations in a Cl- channel (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or CFTR) are responsible for the cystic fibrosis (CF) phenotype. Increased Na+ transport rates are observed in CF airway epithelium, and recent studies suggest that this is due to an increase in Na+ channel open probability (Po). The Xenopus renal epithelial cell line, A6, expresses both cAMP-activated 8-picosiemen (pS) Cl- channels...
