The hormonal form of vitamin D 3, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1, 25 (OH) 2 D 3), is an immune
system modulator and induces expression of the TLR coreceptor CD14. 1, 25 (OH) 2 D 3 …

A CYCLIC AMP-stimulated choride conductance appears when the cystic fibres is gene is
expressed in non-epithelial cells by infection with recombinant viruses 1,2 . Cyclic AMP-…

The nature of involvement of the cystic fibrosis gene product (CFTR) in epithelial anion
transport is not yet understood. We have expressed CFTR in Sf9 insect cells using the …

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) forms an ion channel that
is permeable both to Cl − and to larger organic anions. Here we show, using macroscopic …

Rationale: Cigarette smoke extract inhibits chloride secretion in human bronchial epithelial
cells. Oxidants decrease gene expression, protein expression, and function of the cystic …

Epithelial salt and water secretion serves a variety of functions in different organ systems,
such as the airways, intestines, pancreas, and salivary glands. In cystic fibrosis (CF), the …

Permeability of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride
channel to polyatomic anions of known dimensions was studied in stably transfected Chinese …

Protein kinase A (PKA) stimulates Cl secretion by activating the cystic fibrosis transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR), a tightly regulated Cl − channel in the apical membrane of …

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated ATP efflux has been
proposed as an autocrine mechanism for regulating chloride secretion through other types …

BAP31 is an endoplasmic reticulum protein-sorting factor that associates with newly
synthesized integral membrane proteins and controls their fate (ie, egress, retention, survival, or …
