Comment: Vanzacaftor (VX-121) is a cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein modulator/corrector for class II CFTR mutations (the most common being F508del). The principal action of vanzacaftor is to restore the folding/trafficking of mutated CFTR to the plasma membrane. VX-121 also stimulates a K+ secretory current that is mediated by the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (BKCa, KCa1.1) [2].
