Structure, genetics and function of the pulmonary associated surfactant proteins A and D: The extra-pulmonary role of these C type lectins.

Annals of anatomy = Anatomischer Anzeiger : official organ of the Anatomische Gesellschaft - 1 May 2017

Vieira Frederico, Kung Johannes W, Bhatti Faizah

Abstract excerpt

The collectins family encompasses several collagenous Ca2+-dependent defense lectins that are described as pathogen recognition molecules. They play an important role in both adaptive and innate immunity. Surfactant proteins A and D are two of these proteins which were initially discovered in association with surfactant in the pulmonary system. The structure, immune and inflammatory functions, and genetic...
