Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, a protein involved in the transport of chloride ions across cell membranes or the gene that encodes this protein.
Tsui became internationally acclaimed in 1989 when he and his team identified the defective gene, namely Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), that causes cystic fibrosis, which is a major breakthrough in human genetics.
