“…In addition to Cl − , CFTR also conducts other small anions, like , as well as reactive oxygen species (singlet oxygen) [ 5 ]. It is responsible for the maintenance of intracellular and lysosomal pH, endomembrane reorganization, cell volume, intracellular calcium and redox status, extracellular environment by regulating aquaporins, ceramide metabolism, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling, tight junctions, and ion channels like epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 channel (TRPV4) [ 6 , 4 , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. Quantitative loss of CFTR activity underlies CF pathogenesis due to reduced conductance and thereby significant build-up of intracellular Cl − and levels.…”
