Although not much is known about its function aside from its involvement in lung cancer (Zendman et al, 2002; Nakagawa et al, 2005), it will be interesting to further explore this interaction given the putative role that wt‐CFTR plays in protection from epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer (Amaral et al, 2020). This evidence concerns the gene CFTR and lung cancer.
