38
Embryonic period of development

39
Teratogenic influence of the early (first 3 weeks) of the embryonic period

Role of the ENaC
ENaC is an apical membrane protein in exocrine epithelium that is responsible for sodium transport

Normal CFTR inhibits ENaC activity. In CF, augmented (increased) ENaC activity increases sodium movement into cells; coupled with reduced luminal chloride, there is increased osmotic water resorption from the lumen, leading to dehydration of mucus secretions. Defective mucociliary action and the accumulation of hyper concentrated viscous secretions ultimately obstruct ductascending outflow from the organs=mucoviscidosis
