People with cystic fibrosis (CF) can live longer, better-quality lives thanks to new treatments called CFTR modulators. These medications target gene mutations present in CF and can significantly minimize symptoms and reduce complications. When started early, they can even eliminate some of the worst effects of CF.
Apr 19, 2018 · Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR is an ion channel protein that transports chloride ions across the membranes of cells that line airways, glands, and the digestive tract. This animation illustrates how cystic ...

What is CFTR ion channel protein?
Where is CFTR protein located?
The reason is that CFTR protein is located on apical side of the epithelial cells such as facing airways in lungs and lumen of intestine. It functions in secreting chloride ions outside. When the concentration of the chloride ions increases in the lumen with the help of the functional CFTR (lumen becomes more salty), water follows making lung and intestinal mucus less dense.
