Novel mechanisms for enzymatic regulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis by proteolysis

Novel mechanisms for enzymatic regulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis by proteolysis

Pulmonary surfactant is a critical surface-active substance consisting of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPtdCho) and key apoproteins that are produced and secreted into the airspace from alveolar type II epithelial cells. Surfactant deficiency leads to severe lung atelectasis, ventilatory impairm...
