Abstract excerpt

Surfactants are surface-active agents lowering surface tension in the airways of the lung. It plays an important role on pulmonary function. Surfactant proteins constitute 10 percent of the surfactant molecule. Mutations in genes encoding surfactant proteins can be fatal. Surfactant protein B gene mutation accounts for 50 percent of the cases that underwent lung transplantation for the treatment of severe respirat...
