Expression Region21-248aa
SpeciesHomo sapiens(Human)
Tag InfoN-terminal 10xHis-B2M-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged
Molecular weight41.2kDa
BufferIf the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol.If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose.
StorageStore at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Function

(Microbial infection) Binds M.pneumoniae CARDS toxin, serves as one receptor for this pathogen. When SFTPA1 is down-regulated by siRNA, less toxin binds to human cells and less vacuolization (a symptom of M.pneumoniae infection) is seen.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted; Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix; Secreted, extracellular space, surface film
Disease Association: Interstitial lung disease 1 (ILD1) : A form of interstitial lung disease, a heterogeneous group of diseases affecting the distal part of the lung and characterized by a progressive remodeling of the alveolar interstitium. The disease spectrum ranges from idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or pneumonitis to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, that is associated with an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Clinical features of interstitial lung disease include dyspnea, clubbing of the fingers, and restrictive lung capacity. ILD1 inheritance can be autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance, and autosomal recessive. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants (RDS) : A lung disease affecting usually premature newborn infants. It is characterized by deficient gas exchange, diffuse atelectasis, high-permeability lung edema and fibrin-rich alveolar deposits called 'hyaline membranes'. [Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The association between SFTPA1 alleles and respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants is dependent on a variation Ile to Thr at position 131 in SFTPB]

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
