SP-C is a fragment of a much larger precursor protein of 21 kD. The precursor contains an exceedingly hydrophobic region of 34 amino acids that comprises most of the mature SP C, and a unique poly-valine domain.Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C is a membrane protein which manufactures surfactant.Humans and animals born lacking SP-C tend to develop progressive interstitial pneumonitis.The SFTPC gene encodes pulmonary-associated surfactant protein C (SPC), an extremely hydrophobic surfactant protein essential for lung function and homeostasis after birth. It is produced exclusively by type II alveolar epithelial cells in the lung. Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid-rich material that prevents lung collapse by lowering surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of lung.
Human Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C (SP-C) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SFTPC in samples. An antibody specific for SFTPC has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySFTPC present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SFTPC is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SFTPC bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
