Background
Surfactant protein C is a hydrophobic protein that is primarily found in type II alveolar cells in the lungs. Its main function is to stabilize the lipid layer of pulmonary surfactant, preventing alveoli collapse and maintaining proper lung function. Without sufficient levels of SFTPC protein, individuals may experience respiratory distress and lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Research has shown that mutations in the SFTPC gene can lead to various lung disorders, highlighting the role of this protein in maintaining respiratory function.
