Surfactant protein A / Biotin / 6F10

Product Details

Description	Surfactant protein A Monoclonal Antibody, Biotin conjugate (6F10). Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is synthesized and secreted by lung epithelial cells. It belongs to group III of the family of C-type lectins and members of this group has overall structure consisting of multiple globular 'head' regions linked by triple-helical, collagen-like, strands. This group also includes SP-D and the serum proteins mannan-binding protein, conglutinin and collectin-43, all of which have been shown to bind to the C1q receptor found on a wide variety of cells. Both SP-D and SP-A have been shown to enhance oxygen radical production by alveolar macrophages. The serum concentration is 45 ng/ml in healthy individuals.ELISA 1/4,000 - -

About Surfactant protein A
This gene encodes a lung surfactant protein that is a member of a subfamily of C-type lectins called collectins. The encoded protein binds specific carbohydrate moieties found on lipids and on the surface of microorganisms. This protein plays an essential role in surfactant homeostasis and in the defense against respiratory pathogens. Mutations in this gene are associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
