    basic FUNCTION
  • important role in innate immunity
  • involved in host defense, also involved in the surface tension lowering ability of pulmonary surfactant
  • SFTPA1, SFTPA2 plays a key role in innate lung host defense, in surfactant-related functions, and in parturition
  • innate host defense molecules, surfactant protein A1 (SFTPA1), and SFTPA2 differentially affect the function and proteome of the alveolar macrophages
