Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
text:
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a membrane protein and anion channel in vertebrates that is encoded by the CFTR gene. Geneticist Lap-Chee Tsui and his team identified the CFTR gene in 1989 as the gene linked with CF. The CFTR gene codes for an ABC transporter-class ion channel protein that conducts chloride and bicarbonate ions across epithelial cell membranes. Mutations of the CFTR gene affecting anion channel function lead to dysregulation of epithelial lining flu
