Human Surfactant Protein – A Gene Locus for Genetic Studies in the Finnish Population
Lung surfactant lowers the surface tension but surfactant proteins also have other functions. Surfactant protein A (SP-A) has a well-defined role in innate immunity. The gene locus for human SP-A genes is in chromosome 10q21 through q24 and consists of two highly homologous functional SP-A genes (SP...
