Divergent Pathways of Surfactant Protein C Maturation for Disease-Associated Isoforms
2025-10-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Surfactant Protein C (SP-C), a hydrophobic protein exclusively synthesized and secreted by alveolar type II (AT2) cells, is important for reducing alveolar surface tension in the distal lung. Chronic interstitial pulmonary diseases have been associated with SFTPC mutations. However, a detailed understanding of SP-C maturation in the secretory pathway and disruptions caused by mutations has rema...
