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