Product details

- First try to dissolve a small amount of peptide in either water or buffer. The more charged residues on a peptide, the more soluble it is in aqueous solutions.
- If the peptide doesn't dissolve try an organic solvent e.g. DMSO, then dilute using water or buffer.
- Consider that any solvent used must be compatible with your assay. If a peptide does not dissolve and you need to recover it, lyophilise to remove the solvent.
- Gentle warming and sonication can effectively aid peptide solubilisation. If the solution is cloudy or has gelled the peptide may be in suspension rather than solubilised.
- Peptides containing cysteine are easily oxidised, so should be prepared in solution just prior to use.

General info

Function

In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration. Enhances the expression of MYO18A/SP-R210 on alveolar macrophages (By similarity).. (Microbial infection) Recognition of M.tuberculosis by dendritic cells may occur partially via this molecule (PubMed : 17158455, PubMed : 21203928). Can recognize, bind, and opsonize pathogens to enhance their elimination by alveolar macrophages (PubMed : 21123169).. (Microbial infection) Binds M.pneumoniae CARDS toxin, serves as one receptor for this pathogen (PubMed : 15845487, PubMed : 25139904). When SFTPA1 is down-regulated by siRNA, less toxin binds to human cells and less vacuolization (a symptom of M.pneumoniae infection) is seen (PubMed : 25139904).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the SFTPA family.

Post-translational modifications

N-acetylated.
