Association of surfactant protein D gene polymorphism with susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus: a case–control study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022
Background Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a critical component of the innate immune system intrinsically linked to energy metabolism. However, the relationship of SP-D gene polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains unclear.

Genomic organization of human surfactant protein D (SP-D). SP-D is encoded on chromosome 10q22.2-23.1.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a member of the family of mammalian C-type lectins. SP-D is secreted into the pulmonary airspaces by lung epithelial cells and is believed to contribute to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms. We have previously characterized cDNAs specific for human SP-D (hSP-D). We now describe the partial characterization

Surfactant Protein D in Respiratory and Non-Respiratory Diseases

Frontiers in Medicine, 2018
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a multimeric collectin that is involved in innate immune defense and expressed in pulmonary, as well as non-pulmonary, epithelia.

Band structure of semimagnetic Hg1-yMnyTe quantum wells

, 2004
The band structure of semimagnetic Hg_1-yMn_yTe/Hg_1-xCd_xTe type-III quantum wells has been calculated using eight-band kp model in an envelope function approach. Details of the band structure calculations are given for the Mn free case (y=0).

Surfactant protein D induces immune quiescence and apoptosis of mitogen-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PDF]

, 2016
Surfactant Protein D (SP-D) is an integral molecule of the innate immunity secreted by the epithelial cells lining the mucosal surfaces. Its C-type lectin domain offers pattern recognition functions while it binds to putative receptors on immune cells to

SP-D as a Marker of Amiodarone-induced Pulmonary Toxicity.

Internal Medicine, 2002
Two patients with amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity (APT) showed abnormally increased serum SP-D concentrations, although their KL-6 level was within the normal range. In a 59-year-old man with ischemic heart disease, APT progressed rapidly and required steroid pulse therapy.

Supramolecular Assembly of Human Pulmonary Surfactant Protein SP-D [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2018
Pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a glycoprotein from the collectin family that is a component of the lung surfactant system. It exhibits host defense and immune regulatory functions in addition to contributing to the homeostasis of the surfactant pool within the alveolar airspaces.
