Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D

UniProtKB accession:  Q9N1X4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha-glucosyl moieties (By similarity).
