CFTR (E733) polyclonal antibody

CFTR, for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, is a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated chloride channel protein. CFTR belongs to the MDR subfamily within the ATP-binding transport protein family. It has two transmembrane domains (TMDs), two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) and one regulatory domain. Mutations of CFTR are associated with cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease characterized by chronic bronchopulmonary disease, elevated sweat electrolytes and insufficient pancreatic function. CFTR mutations can also result in congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD), a form of male sterility that a majority of male CF patients exhibit.
