Abstract excerpt
Surfactant protein (SP)-A, an octadecamer composed of SP-A1 and SP-A2, is secreted into the alveolar space. Heterozygous variations in SFTPA1 and SFTPA2, reported to impair protein secretion, have been associated with interstitial lung disease and lung adenocarcinoma. To date, no specific treatment is available. Here, the impact of wild-type (WT) SP-A1 or SP-A2 on the localization, oligomerization, and secretion...
