| Primary Identifier | MGI:109518 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 20387 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of phagocytosis. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in extraembryonic component; lung; lung surfactant; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung disease (multiple) and respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human SFTPA1 (surfactant protein A1) and SFTPA2 (surfactant protein A2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit impaired lung response to hyperventilation, reduced resistance to pulmonary infections, and enhanced pulmonary inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide.
