Abstract excerpt
Multiple properties have been attributed to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the gene product which is mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF). In this context it has been reported that CFTR transports water. In the present study we demonstrate that expression of wild-type CFTR (wtCFTR) in Xenopus oocytes and then stimulation by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, 1 mmol/l) activates a Cl-...
