Anti-SFTPC Antibody, clone 3F18 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C (UniProt: P11686; also known as SP-C, Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteolipid SPL(Val), SP5) is encoded by the SFTPC (also known as SFTP2) gene (Gene ID: 6440) in human. Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid-protein complex that promotes alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-fluid interface in the peripheral air spaces. Pulmonary surfactant associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. Four different surfactant-associated proteins have been described: 2 collagenous, carbohydrate-binding glycoproteins (SP-A and SP-D) and two small hydrophobic proteins (SP-B and SP-C). SFTPC is synthesized with two pro-peptides (aa 1-23 and 59-197) that subsequently produce the SP-5 protein (aa 24-58). Mutations in SFTPC have been found in sporadic and familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in murine models. In human, mutations in SFTPC gene have been linked to Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
