http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_fibrosis_transmembrane_conductance_regulator
CFTR (Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CFTR gene.
CFTR is an ABC transporter-class ion channel that transports chloride and thiocyanate ions across epithelial cell membranes. Mutations of the CFTR gene affect functioning of the chloride ion channels in these cell membranes, leading to Cystic fibrosis and Congenital absence of the vas deferens.
