About The CFTR channel (Cystic Fibrosis Mp3 Sound Effect

The CFTR channel (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) is a protein that sits in the membrane of certain cells, acting like a gate for chloride ions (Cl⁻). When chloride moves, water (H₂O) follows to balance hydration. This movement is what keeps mucus thin, slippery, and able to protect the lungs and other organs. 🔹 Healthy CFTR: • Chloride flows out of the cell normally • Water follows chloride (osmosis) • Mucus stays thin + clears germs and debris • Lungs remain clear, pancreas delivers enzymes, digestion works smoothly 🔹 Mutated CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis): • Mutation disrupts the channel → chloride can’t move properly • Without chloride flow, water can’t follow • Mucus becomes thick, sticky, and hard to clear • Airways clog → chronic infections, coughing, lung damage • Pancreas ducts block → poor digestion + nutrient absorption • Reproductive + digestive systems can also be affected Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. It affects multiple organs — especially the lungs, pancreas, intestines, and reproductive system. Patients may experience lung infections, digestive issues, infertility, and complications like CF-related diabetes (CFRD). Treatments aim to: • Clear thick mucus (airway clearance, vest therapy, nebulizers) • Replace missing digestive enzymes • Balance blood sugars if CFRD develops • And newer CFTR modulators help some mutations by repairing the protein channel so it works more like normal. In simple terms → Healthy CFTR = thin mucus + healthy organ function Mutated CFTR = thick mucus + organ damage #cysticfibrosis #medtok #chronicillness #invisibleillness #fyp
