CFTR Recombinant Rabbit mAb ,PBS Only(SDT-2133-154)

The CFTR protein, or cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein, is a crucial membrane protein found primarily in epithelial cells lining various organs such as the lungs, pancreas, and sweat glands. It functions as a chloride channel, regulating the movement of chloride ions across cell membranes to maintain proper fluid balance and mucus consistency. Mutations in the CFTR gene can lead to cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder characterized by thick, sticky mucus buildup in the lungs and digestive system, causing chronic infections and impaired organ function. The CFTR protein also plays a role in regulating sodium channels and has broader implications for epithelial cell function and ion transport.
