Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SFTPC gene.
It is a membrane protein which manufactures surfactant.
Clinical significance
It is associated with Surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2.
Humans and animals born lacking SP-C tend to develop progressive interstitial pneumonitis.
