A website about CFTR, the protein involved in cystic fibrosis.

Database of Cystic Fibrosis mutations plus other relevant information on these mutations.

The purpose of this website is to provide information which may be of interest to researchers in the fields of CFTR expression and Function.

Scientists have obtained their first three-dimensional look at a member of a large family of proteins that play a central role in the development of cystic fibrosis, can block the therapeutic effects of medications, and are also involved in a wide range of vital biological processes. The structure of this representative protein was solved by a team at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB).
