Influence of Disease-Causing Mutations and Ivacaftor on the Dynamics of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Protein
2025-07-07
Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the most common life-shortening autosomal recessive diseases, arises from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and leads to severe respiratory and digestive dysfunction. CFTR-targeting therapies such as ivacaftor have transformed CF care by directly modulating CFTR function. However, the precise mechanism by which ivacaftor alters CFTR’s conf...
