Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR). CFTR belongs to the ATP -Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter family, but uniquely functions as an ion channel to regulate salt and fluid homeostasis. In this talk, I will discuss the molecular details of how CFTR functions, the structural and functional defects caused by mutations, and how drug molecules act to revert these defects.
