pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C - CISMeF
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein CMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C;
MeSH definition : A pulmonary surfactant associated protein that plays a role in alveolar stability
by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface. It is a membrane-bound
protein that constitutes 1-2% of the pulmonary surfactant mass. Pulmonary surfactant-associated
protein C is one of the most hydrophobic peptides yet isolated and contains an alpha-helical
domain with a central poly-valine segment that binds to phospholipid bilayers.;
MeSH synonym : sp-c protein; surfactant polypeptide sp-c; sp-c, surfactant polypeptide; surfactant polypeptide sp c; sp c protein; pulmonary surfactant protein c; pulmonary surfactant-associated protein sp-c; pulmonary surfactant associated protein sp c; pulmonary surfactant associated protein C;
