Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins which is secreted by the epithelial
type II cells into the alveolar space. Its main function is to reduce the surface tension at the …

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid–protein complex, synthesized and secreted by the respiratory
epithelium of lungs to the alveolar spaces, whose main function is to reduce the surface …

The effects of pulmonary surfactant protein SP-B on the properties of monolayers of
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), and a …

Langmuir isotherms, fluorescence microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to
study lung surfactant specific proteins SP-B and SP-C in monolayers of …

The hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C are essential for pulmonary surfactant function,
even though they are a relatively minor component (< 2% of surfactant dry mass). Despite …
