The  altered  protein  affected  the  function   of  the  cell  membrane. The   cell  membrane which  contain  a  bilayer control  the  movement  of  substance   in  and  out  of  the  cell and organelles.  Due   to  this  it  is  selective  permeable  to ion  and  organic  molecules.

The right answer is chloride transport in cell membrane.

Cystic fibrosis is genetically translated by a mutation in the CFTR gene.

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a chloride channel regulated by cAMP (cyclic Adenosine MonoPhosphate). This low-conductance channel is a regulator of other channels, particularly sodium channels such as the ENaC channel (Epithelial Na Channel) or the Outwardly Rectifying Chloride Channel (ORCC).

Espero que esta respuesta sea correcta :)
