| cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator p. |
a protein produced by the cystic fibrosis gene, consisting of a single peptide chain with 1480 amino acids; it is a transmembrane protein primarily functioning as a chloride channel, and found in cell membranes of the respiratory epithelium, pancreas, salivary glands, sweat glands, intestines, and reproductive tract. Numerous mutated forms of the gene, particularly one with a deletion causing omission of a phenylalanine residue from the protein, have been associated with clinical cystic fibrosis.
