CFTR Antibody (GA1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. CFTR plays a crucial role as a chloride channel in epithelial cells, primarily located in the apical membrane of airway, intestinal, and pancreatic cells, where CFTR regulates the movement of chloride ions and water across cell membranes. This function is vital for maintaining proper mucus viscosity, essential for effective mucociliary clearance in the respiratory system. Dysfunctional CFTR due to mutations leads to thick, sticky mucus accumulation, resulting in severe respiratory and digestive issues characteristic of cystic fibrosis. CFTR′s location in the cell directly influences epithelial surface hydration, impacting respiratory health, digestive, and reproductive functions. Anti-CFTR antibody (GA1) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying cystic fibrosis and related disorders, providing insights into underlying molecular mechanisms.
