Cystic Fibrosis; Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator and mutation

This is the first video in the series of videos on cystic fibrosis and is focusing on its introduction, the structure of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator protein, its mutations and effects on the body. The important concept needed to understand this re explained in the following videos. Protein Kinase A Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: Protein Kinase C Part 1: Part 2: Ubiquitin Proteasome System Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, pancreas, liver and other organs in the body. CF affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are n
