Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a membrane-associated ATP-binding cassette transporter that functions as a cAMP-regulated chloride and bicarbonate channel in epithelial tissues. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is primarily localized to the apical membrane of epithelial cells in organs such as kidney, pancreas, airway, and intestine, where it regulates ion transport and fluid homeostasis. CFTR Antibody / Mouse Tissue Reactive Antibody is designed to support detection of CFTR in both mouse and human tissues, enabling comparative analysis across experimental models and translational studies. For a widely cited CFTR antibody used across multiple study types, see our M3A7 clone.
CFTR antibody, also referred to as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator antibody or ABCC7 antibody, recognizes a multi-domain membrane protein composed of two nucleotide-binding domains and multiple transmembrane segments that form the ion channel pore. In tissue-based applications, CFTR is typically detected with apical membranous and luminal staining in epithelial cells, reflecting its role in directing ion transport across polarized epithelial surfaces. This distribution is particularly evident in renal tubular epithelium and pancreatic ductal structures, where CFTR contributes to fluid secretion and epithelial function.
This CFTR Antibody / Mouse Tissue Reactive Antibody is supported by immunohistochemistry data demonstrating clear epithelial staining in both FFPE mouse kidney and FFPE human pancreas tissues. In mouse kidney, staining highlights renal tubular epithelial cells with apical localization, while in human pancreas, staining is observed in ductal epithelial cells with luminal accentuation. The ability to detect CFTR in both species supports its use in studies that bridge mouse model systems with human tissue analysis, providing continuity between experimental and translational research workflows.
Mutations in CFTR are the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder characterized by impaired chloride transport and altered epithelial function. Changes in CFTR expression and localization can be evaluated in tissue sections, providing insight into epithelial organization and disease-related alterations. The ability to examine CFTR in both mouse and human tissues is particularly valuable for studies investigating disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches using animal models.
In addition to its established role in epithelial ion transport, CFTR contributes to broader cellular processes including regulation of other ion channels, vesicle trafficking, and epithelial differentiation. Its conserved function and distinct localization pattern make it well suited for comparative tissue studies. A CFTR antibody can be used to evaluate CFTR expression in both mouse and human tissues, supporting investigations into epithelial biology, ion transport mechanisms, and disease-related changes across model systems.
