which endoplasmic reticulum creates cftr
Abstract. The most common cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutant in cystic fibrosis patients, Î´F508 CFTR, is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is consequently degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD).
