pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D - CISMeF
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein DMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D;
MeSH definition : An abundant pulmonary surfactant-associated protein that binds to a variety of lung
pathogens and enhances their opsinization and killing by phagocytic cells. Surfactant
protein D contains a N-terminal collagen-like domain and a C-terminal lectin domain
that are characteristic of members of the collectin family of proteins.;
