This protein functions as a channel across the membrane of cells that produce mucus, sweat, saliva, tears, and digestive enzymes. The channel transports negatively charged particles called chloride ions into and out of cells. The transport of chloride ions helps control the movement of water in tissues, which is necessary for the production of thin, freely flowing mucus calebrim1902 https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222511856 2018-01-18 16:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222511856 calebrim1902 https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222513366 2018-01-18 16:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222513366 which other organisms might have the CFTR protein? calebrim1902 https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222515133 2018-01-18 17:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamewarr1852/cp5borx42q03/wish/222515133
