Surfactant protein C (SP-C), is one of the pulmonary surfactant proteins. In humans this is encoded by the SFTPC gene.[1][2][3]
It is a membrane protein which manufactures surfactant.
The propeptide of pulmonary surfactant C has an N-terminal alpha-helical segment whose suggested function was stabilization of the protein structure, since the latter can irreversibly transform from its native alpha-helical structure to beta-sheet aggregates and form amyloid fibrils. The correct intracellular trafficking of proSP-C has also been reported to depend on the propeptide.[4]
Clinical significance
It is associated with surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2.
Humans and animals born lacking SP-C tend to develop progressive interstitial lung disease.

Surfactant protein C, N terminal propeptide Provide feedback
The N-terminal propeptide of surfactant protein C adopts an alpha-helical structure, with turn and extended regions. It's main function is the stabilisation of metastable surfactant protein C (SP-C), since the latter can irreversibly transform from its native alpha-helical structure to beta-sheet aggregates and form amyloid-like fibrils. The correct intracellular trafficking of proSP-C has also been reported to depend on the propeptide [1].

Trees
This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the SP_C-Propep domain has been found. There are 8 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
