Surfactant proteins as genetic determinants of multifactorial pulmonary diseases.

Annals of medicine - 1 Jan 2002

Haataja Ritva, Hallman Mikko

Abstract excerpt

Surfactant proteins, SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D, play important roles in pulmonary surfactant function and metabolism. SP-A and SP-D, being members of the collectin family of proteins, also interact with pathogens and are involved in pulmonary host defense. Respiratory diseases are among the most common causes of death worldwide. Several life-threatening lung diseases, such as neonatal respiratory distress...
