Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1TS
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why the defective protein results in a thick sticky mucous outside the cells rather than a loose fluid covering in cystic fibrosis genetic disorder.
Introduction:
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is expressed when an individual inherits a pair of the recessive allele of the cystic fibrosis gene. This gene then expresses and translates into nonfunctional proteins (cystic fibrosis). This protein then forms a transmembrane conductance regulator which forms the chlorine channels that surrounds the membranes, which produce mucus, sweat and tears. Any mutation in genes of CFTR cause the cystic fibrosis disorder and affect the transmembrane protein functioning.
