The proteins I chose for my web page included:
1) Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator(CFTR)
2) Pendrin (PDF)
CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR; CFTR
CFTR functions as a chloride channel and controls the regulation of other transport pathways. Research suggests that CFTR functions to regulate other chloride ion secretory pathways in addition to conducting chloride ion itself. In patients suffering with CF, the channel (CFTR) is either defective or absent.

Pendrin (PDS), SLC26A4:

Pictures for this page were found at the following sites:

2) http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Teams/Team88/ the second picture shows the difference between a normal cochlea in the inner ear (right handside) and an image with a disfunctional cochlea(left handside) without the PDS gene.
