5. The CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) is created in the endoplasmic reticulum. The CFTR then travels to the cell membrane. However the quality control flags the protein for destruction. G T G T G T T C T A T A
11. Gene therapy Vector- Carrier of DNA for the insertion of the desired DNA into a chromosome, commonly a virus which has been changed to transport human DNA is used. Virus enters cell by endocytosis Nucleus
12. Gene therapy Desired DNA is taken in by the nucleus and the fault is repaired The DNA within the nucleus is now corrected and the cystic fibrosis gene or the lack of the phenylanine has been resolved.
