| Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein C Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein SP-C | Pulmonary Surfactant Protein C | SP-C protein | Surfactant Polypeptide SP-C | Pulmonary Surfactant Associated Protein C | Pulmonary Surfactant Associated Protein SP C | SP C protein 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. |
