Genetics of the hydrophilic surfactant proteins A and D

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1998
The use of candidate genes has increased the ability to identify genetic factors involved in diseases with complex and multifactorial etiology. The surfactant proteins (SP) A and D are involved in host defense and inflammatory processes of the lung, which are often components of pulmonary disease.

Surfactant proteins A and D in pregnancy and parturition

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011
Surfactant proteins A and D have extra-pulmonary expression at various mucosal sites including the reproductive tract. Reproductive tissues require a fine immune balance, strong enough to keep infection at a bay and at the same time, subtle enough to support an allogeneic fetus throughout the pregnancy. Roles of SP-A and SP-D have been studied in depth

Tissue Distribution of Surfactant Proteins A and D in the Mouse [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2002
Surfactant proteins A and D, collagen-like lectins (collectins), were first isolated from the lung. In the lung, SP-A and SP-D have roles in surfactant homeostasis and innate immunity. In this study we show that SP-A and SP-D mRNA can be detected in a significant number of non-pulmonary tissues but the proteins have a more limited distribution.

Surfactant proteins A and D: disease markers

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1998
The abundant and restricted expression of surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D within the lung makes these collectins specific markers for lung diseases. The measurement of SP-A and SP-D in amniotic fluids and tracheal aspirates reflects lung maturity and the production level of the lung surfactant in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Latherin: a surfactant protein of horse sweat and saliva [PDF]

, 2009
Horses are unusual in producing protein-rich sweat for thermoregulation, a major component of which is latherin, a highly surface-active, non-glycosylated protein.

Surfactant-free purification of membrane protein complexes from bacteria: application to the staphylococcal penicillin-binding protein complex PBP2/PBP2a. [PDF]

, 2014
Surfactant-mediated removal of proteins from biomembranes invariably results in partial or complete loss of function and disassembly of multi-protein complexes. We determined the capacity of styrene-co-maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to remove components of
