Surfactant protein A (SP-A), the most abundant protein in the lung alveolar surface, has multiple activities, including surfactant-related functions. SP-A is required for the formation of tubular myelin and the lung surface film. The human SP-A locus consists of two functional SP-A genes, SP-A1 and SP-A2, with a number of alleles characterized for each gene. We have found that the human in vitro expressed...
Deuterium (2H) NMR has been used to observe perturbation of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers by the pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) at concentrations up to 17% (w/w). Previous 2H NMR studies of DPPC/dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) (7:3) bilayers containing up to 11% (w/w) SP-B and DPPC bilayers containing up to 11% (w/w) synthetic SP-B indicated a slight effect on bilayer...
