Abstract excerpt
Understanding of the functions and regulation of the phenotype of the alveolar type I epithelial cell has lagged behind studies of its neighbor the type II cell because of lack of cell-specific molecular markers. The recent identification of several proteins expressed by type I cells indicates that these cells may play important roles in regulation of cell proliferation, ion transport and water flow, metabolism...
