| Primary Identifier | MGI:109515 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 20390 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of interleukin-2 production; opsonization; and regulation of phagocytosis. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in epidermis spinous layer; lung; lung surfactant; otic capsule; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; lung disease (multiple); respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease; and rhinitis. Orthologous to human SFTPD (surfactant protein D). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit increased pool sizes of alveolar and tissue phosphatidylcholine, accumulation of surfactant lipids, altered phospholipid structure, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis and chronic inflammation.
