Rat Pulmonary Surfatcant-associated Protein D, SP-D ELISA Kit, 96T Virus Packaging The Drosophila protein facilitates enhancer-promoter

The Drosophila protein facilitates enhancer-promoter communication of remote enhancers and plays a role in developmental regulation

PubMed: 9419975

Mutations in this gene cause arginine:glycine amidinotransferase deficiency| an inborn error of creatine synthesis characterized by mental retardation| language impairment| and behavioral disorders

Appears to play a crucial role in mediating reciprocal interactions between the endothelium and surrounding matrix and mesenchyme

Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus

Rat Pulmonary Surfatcant-associated Protein D, SP-D ELISA Kit, 96T Virus Packaging The Drosophila protein facilitates enhancer-promoterContributes 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.
