Abstract excerpt
Human surfactant protein A (SP-A) is encoded by two functional genes (SFTPA1, SFTPA2) with a high degree of sequence identity. Sequence differences among these genes and their genetic variants have been observed at the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs). In this work, we studied the impact on translation of the SFTPA1 (hSP-A1) and SFTPA2 (hSP-A2) gene 5' UTR splice variants and 3' UTR sequence variants, in the...
