Product Specifications

Background

Surfactant protein A is an innate immune system collectin. The gene encoding SP-A map to mouse chromosome 14.1. Surfactant protein-A, which plays a role in innate host defense in the lung, is also expressed in the Eustachian tube. We report that the frequency of specific surfactant protein-A haplotypes and genotypes differs between children with recurrent otitis media compared with a control population.

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in neurons of the rolandic area of the brain (at protein level). Expressed in the brain.

Applications

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

0.5-1mg/ml, actual concentration vary by lot. Use suggested dilution ratio to decide dilution procedure.

Form

Liquid

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

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.

Components

Each vial contains 50% glycerol, 0.9% NaCl, 0.2% Na2HPO4, 0.02% NaN3.
