Gene nameSFTPA1
Protein nameSurfactant protein A1
Surfactant protein A1 variant AB'D' 6A (Surfactant protein A1 variant ACD' 6A)
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A1 (PSP-A) (PSPA) (SP-A) (SP-A1) (35 kDa pulmonary surfactant-associated protein) (Alveolar proteinosis protein) (Collectin-4)
SynonymsSFTP1
SFTPA1B
COLEC4
SFTPA
PSAP
DescriptionFUNCTION: In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration. Enhances the expression of MYO18A/SP-R210 on alveolar macrophages (By similarity). .; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) Recognition of M.tuberculosis by dendritic cells may occur partially via this molecule . Can recognize, bind, and opsonize pathogens to enhance their elimination by alveolar macrophages . .; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) Binds M.pneumoniae CARDS toxin, serves as one receptor for this pathogen . When SFTPA1 is down-regulated by siRNA, less toxin binds to human cells and less vacuolization (a symptom of M.pneumoniae infection) is seen . .
