Human pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a collagenous C-type lectin with high binding specificity to alpha-D-glucosyl residues. It is composed of four regions: a short NH2-terminal noncollagen sequence, a collagenous domain, a short linking domain ("neck" region), and a COOH-terminal carbo...
