Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the codon encoding phenylalanine 508 (DeltaF508) is the most common mutation in cystic fibrosis (CF) and results in a trafficking defect. Mutant DeltaF508-CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein retains functional activity, but the nascent protein is recognized as abnormal and, in consequence, is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and degraded. It has been proposed that this...
