Ouabain mimics low temperature rescue of F508del-CFTR in cystic fibrosis epithelial cells
ABSTRACT Most cases of cystic fibrosis (CF) are caused by the deletion of a single phenylalanine residue at position 508 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The mutant F508del-CFTR is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded, but can be induced by low tempera...
