Product Name :
SP-B (W292) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Pulmonary surfactant is primarily responsible for lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli, a process that is essential for normal respiration. Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of phospholipids and proteins,including four distinct surfactant-associated proteins (SPs), SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D. SP-B and SP-C are predominantly hydrophobic proteins that associate with lipids to promote the absorption of surfactant phospholipids and to reduce the surface tension in the alveoli. SP-A and SP-D are large multimeric proteins belonging to the family of calcium-dependent lectins, designated collectins,which contribute to the innate immune system. Both SP-A and SP-D have been shown to protect against microbial challenge through binding to the lipid components of the bacterial cell wall and facilitating the rapid removal of microbials. Alternative Name :
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B; SP-B; 18 kDa pulmonary-surfactant protein; 6 kDa protein; Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteolipid SPL(Phe); SFTP3; SFTPB Swiss-Prot :
P07988 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide SP-B (W292). (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS2893 SP-B (W292) pAb.
