Sftpc - surfactant associated protein C

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including lung and main bronchus epithelium. Used to study desquamative interstitial pneumonia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; lung disease (multiple); and respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human SFTPC (surfactant protein C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
