Comments

Comment Type Description
Function Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air- liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. SP-B increases the collapse pressure of palmitic acid to nearly 70 millinewtons per meter.
Miscellaneous Pulmonary surfactant consists of 90% lipid and 10% protein. There are 4 surfactant-associated proteins: 2 collagenous, carbohydrate-binding glycoproteins (SP-A and SP-D) and 2 small hydrophobic proteins (SP-B and SP-C).
Similarity Contains 1 saposin A-type domain
Similarity Contains 3 saposin B-type domains
Subcellular Location Secreted, extracellular space, surface film.
Subunit Homodimer; disulfide-linked.
