Product details:
Mouse SFTPC ELISA Kit ab252366 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse SFTPC in tissue, tissue extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 40 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse SFTPC SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Prosurfactant Protein C (Pro-SP-C) often referred to as SPC or by its abbreviated form SP-C is a hydrophobic peptide critical for lung function. This protein has a mass of approximately 21 kDa and is expressed prominently in the alveolar type II cells of the lung tissue. Beyond its full-length variant various pro forms such as proSP-C are studied for their roles during protein maturation and trafficking. These pro forms are essential for producing the mature functional SP-C a critical component of lung surfactant which reduces surface tension in alveoli and prevents lung collapse.
Biological function summary
In surfactant homeostasis Prosurfactant Protein C associates with surfactant protein complexes where it interacts with phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine to stabilize the alveolar structures. As part of this complex it aids in reducing surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli and contributes to the host defense system by fostering pathogen clearance and modulating inflammation. The intricate processing of Pro-SP-C into its mature form involves fucosylation and other post-translational modifications which are key for functional surfactant activity.
Pathways
The role of Prosurfactant Protein C is integral to the surfactant metabolism pathway affecting lung function and homeostasis. This pathway is important for proper respiratory mechanics and is closely linked to other surfactant proteins like SP-B and SP-D. These proteins work together within the lipid-protein matrix of the surfactant to ensure proper alveolar deflation and reinflation during respiration. Disruption within these pathways can have significant impact on lung health and respiratory physiology.
Mutations or dysfunctions in Prosurfactant Protein C are linked to interstitial lung diseases including pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions often result from misfolded proteins or improper surfactant metabolism leading to compromised lung function. Connections with disorders like these highlight interactions between Prosurfactant Protein C and C-reactive protein uncovering underlying inflammatory processes. Therapy and research often target these protein interactions and modifications as understanding them holds potential for strategic intervention in surfactant-related pathologies.
