What is the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR)?
The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) is a protein found in the cell membranes of various tissues, particularly in the epithelial cells lining the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. It functions as a chloride channel and plays a crucial role in the regulation of ion and water transport across cell membranes.
