Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to agents, and methods for identifying compounds, which agents and compounds result in the modulation of cellular trafficking of proteins in particular that of CF-associated mutant Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). In addition, the invention relates to compositions and methods for the use thereof in treating conditions that are characterized by an ER-associated protein misfolding and abnormal cellular trafficking of disease-associated proteins, including cystic fibrosis (CF).
