Entrez ID 6440
Gene name Surfactant protein C
Gene symbol SFTPC
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BRICD6PSP-CSFTP2SMDP2SP-CSP5
Chromosome 8
Chromosome location 8p21.3
Summary This gene encodes the pulmonary-associated surfactant protein C (SPC), an extremely hydrophobic surfactant protein essential for lung function and homeostasis after birth. Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex composed of 90% lipids
