| Product description |
Mouse monoclonal [MM13 - 4] to CFTRCFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) is composed of two membrane spanning domains (MSD), two nucleotide binding domains (NBD), and an R domain. It is structurally similar to multidrug resistance (Mdr1) protein and both are members of the superfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, also known as traffic ATPases, which are implicated in the movement of various substrates. The CFTR protein is a small conductance adenosine 3,5 cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) activated chloride ion channel found in the apical membranes of epithelia within the pancreas, airway, intestine, bile duct, sweat gland and male genital ducts. CFTR is a valuable marker of human pancreatic duct cell development and differentiation. |
