Rabbit anti-Human Surfactant protein D/SP-D Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P35247

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SFTPD

Target Full Name

Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D

Target Function

Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha-glucosyl moieties.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Secreted, extracellular space, surface film.

Target Protein Families

SFTPD family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in lung, brain, pancreas and adipose tissue (mainly mature adipocytes).

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is part of the innate immune response, protecting the lungs against inhaled microorganisms and chemicals. The encoded protein may also be involved in surfactant metabolism.
