title: CFTR Chloride Channels: Binding Partners and Regulatory Networks.
abstract: The cystic fibrosis gene encodes a chloride channel (CFTR) that regulates transepithelial salt and water transport. Two classes of CFTR-binding proteins appear to link the opposing cytoplasmic tails of this channel to distinct regulatory networks. Such interactions may constitute new paradigms for modulating CFTR activity in health and disease.
