Literature associating SFTPB and interstitial emphysema
SFTPB [ENSP00000386346]
Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteolipid SPL(Phe); Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air- liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. SP-B increases the collapse pressure of palmitic acid to nearly 70 millinewtons per meter.
