Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal non-collagenous domain of the surfactant glycoprotein SP-A was shown to be essential for its correct folding and assembly, as judged by the secretion of various deletion mutants transiently expressed in COS cells. A deletion mutant coding for this domain was successfully secreted while the expression of the collagenous domain only did not lead to any detectable secretion. Deletion mutants lacking...
