Human surfactant protein C (hSP-C) is synthesized by the alveolar type 2 cell as a 197 amino acid integral membrane proprotein and proteolytically processed to a secreted 3.7 kDa mature form. Although the SP-C null mouse possesses a non-lethal phenotype, a heterozygous substitution of A for G in the first base of intron 4 of the human SP-C gene (c.460+1A>G) has been reported in association with familial...
