DESCRIPTION

Also known as SFTPA_RAT, Sftpa1, Sftp-1, Sftp1, Sftpa. In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration. Enhances the expression of MYO18A/SP-R210 on alveolar macrophages. Oligomeric complex of 6 set of homotrimers.
