Beta-oestradiol rescues DeltaF508CFTR functional expression in human cystic fibrosis airway CFBE41o- cells through the up-regulation of NHERF1.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: CF (cystic fibrosis) is a disease caused by mutations within the CFTR (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. The most common mutation, DeltaF508 (deletion of Phe-508), results in a protein that is defective in folding and trafficking to the cell surface but is functi...
