The expression of SP-B and SP-C in GDM group was significantly reduced as compared with control group (P<0.05)...It was concluded that gestational diabetes mellitus can cause fetal lung development and maturation disorders, and FOXA2 in fetal lung tissue decreases while nitrocellulose FOXA2 increases
Title: Expression of Lung Surfactant Proteins SP-B and SP-C and Their Regulatory Factors in Fetal Lung of GDM Rats.
SP-C is present on the surface of exocytosed surfactant particles. Antibodies against SP-C stabilize the released particles when contacting the air-liquid interface, precluding their transformation and the formation of surface films. SP-C acts as an essential, preformed molecular key in the initial stages of surfactant unpacking and surface film formation.

Data show that direct interaction between Foxp2 and Nkx2.1 inhibits Nkx2.1 DNA-binding and transcriptional activity and suggest a mechanism for down-regulation of SP-C during transition of AT2 cells to an AT1 cell phenotype.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
