pubmed-article:7535272 | pubmed:abstractText | In the intestine, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been localized to the apical pole of crypt epithelial cells. Recent data indicate that some villus cells may also express CFTR, although the identity of these cells has not been established. The aim of the current study was to characterize the distribution, morphology, and surface marker expression of CFTR-expressing villus cells. | lld:pubmed |
