Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein helps to maintain the balance of salt and water on many surfaces in the body, such as the surface of the lung. When the protein is not working correctly, chloride-a component of salt-becomes trapped in cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR)-PMC.
Detailed explanation-3: -CFTR is complex protein found on the surface membrane of cells in a wide variety of tissues where it functions as a regulated chloride ion channel. In the lung CFTR is found on the apical membrane of the cells lining the airways.
