The protein SFT also known as surfactant protein or SP plays a role in reducing surface tension in the lungs. It's a glycoprotein with a known mass of around 32 kDa. SFT mainly gets expressed in the alveolar type II cells in the lungs where it's secreted into the lung's extracellular lining. Its primary function involves aiding in lung stability and preventing alveolar collapse during respiration.
Biological function summary
Surfactant proteins contribute to innate immune defense and lung homeostasis. SFT is a component of the surfactant complex which includes other proteins and lipids. This protein acts at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli and engages in host defense functions. SFT activates alveolar macrophages and binds to a range of pathogens enhancing their clearance from the respiratory tract. It helps regulate inflammatory responses and maintain the balance of surfactant components in the lungs.
Pathways
SFT plays an integral role in the pulmonary surfactant metabolism pathway and the immune response pathway. In the pulmonary surfactant metabolism pathway it interacts with proteins like ABCA3 and lipids like phosphatidylcholine to ensure proper surfactant composition and recycling. In the immune response pathway SFT partners with complement proteins and defensins supporting pathogen clearance and preventing lung infections.
SFT relates primarily to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). In RDS an insufficient amount or dysfunction of surfactant proteins including SFT leads to alveolar collapse and impaired gas exchange. In PAP the protein's accumulation affects surfactant homeostasis disrupting lung function. These diseases tie SFT to other proteins like GM-CSF and ABCA3 which influence surfactant production and regulation.
