NCIt synonyms : SMDP2; Surfactant Protein C wt Allele; BRICHOS Domain Containing 6 Gene; SP-C; SP5; BRICD6; Surfactant-Associated, Pulmonary, 2 Gene; Surfactant, Pulmonary-Associated Protein C Gene; SFTP2; PSP-C;
NCIt definition : Human SFTPC wild-type allele is located the vicinity of 8p21.3 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes pulmonary surfactant-associated protein
C, is involved in lung function and homeostasis. Mutation of the gene is associated
with pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2 (pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
due to surfactant protein C deficiency).;
