Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid-protein complex involved in maintaining alveolar stability. SP-A is the major surfactant-associated protein of 26 to 38 kD. A human SP-A gene (SP-A I) and two distinct SP-A cDNAs, MPSAP 1A and MPSAP 6A, have been reported previously. We have isolated and characterized a second human SP-A gene (SP-A II), which appears to code for the mRNA corresponding to the previously described...
