Biological function summary
SP-D contributes to host defense by enhancing the uptake and elimination of pathogens by immune cells such as macrophages. Part of a larger protein complex SP-D can opsonize bacteria and viruses facilitating phagocytosis. Its role extends to modulating inflammation by affecting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. By maintaining homeostasis in surfactant composition it indirectly supports lung function and protects against lung injury. SP-D’s function involves communication and transmission of signals within the immune system making it integral to pulmonary immune processes.
Pathways
Surfactant protein D is involved in the regulation of the complement and coagulation cascades as well as the pathogen recognition pathway. It is closely related to other collectins such as surfactant protein A (SP-A) which share similar mechanisms in the immune response. SP-D's interaction within these pathways highlights its role in identifying and neutralizing pathogens. Through its connections with related proteins SP-D plays an important part in modulating immune responses ensuring effective pathogen elimination without excessive inflammation.

General info
Function
Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha-glucosyl moieties.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the SFTPD family.
Post-translational modifications
The N-terminus is blocked.. Hydroxylation on proline residues within the sequence motif, GXPG, is most likely to be 4-hydroxy as this fits the requirement for 4-hydroxylation in vertebrates.. S-nitrosylation at Cys-35 and Cys-40 alters the quaternary structure which results in a pro-inflammatory chemoattractive signaling activity with macrophages.
