| Description: | SP-D protein plays a vital role in the lung's defense mechanism against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens, and toxins. This multifunctional protein interacts with a variety of compounds, including bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides, and fatty acids, thereby modulating leukocyte activity in the immune response. Additionally, SP-D may be involved in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant, contributing to respiratory homeostasis. Notably, it exhibits strong binding affinity for maltose residues and, to a lesser extent, other alpha-glucosyl moieties. SP-D functions as an oligomeric complex, consisting of four sets of homotrimers, highlighting its structural significance in pulmonary defense mechanisms. SP-D Protein, Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Rhesus Macaque-derived SP-D protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of SP-D Protein, Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, His) is 354 a.a., with molecular weight of ~36.8 KDa. |
