Abstract excerpt
SP-BN is an independent protein derived from the precursor of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B), a critical component of the pulmonary surfactant (PS), the membrane-based system that coats the alveolar air-liquid interface and is essential for both respiratory mechanics and innate defense. In humans, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) defining hSP-BN glycosylation has been associated with propensity to...
