摘要
Surfactant protein B (SP-B) is crucial for maintaining lung surfactant homeostasis and facilitating alveolar expansion and contraction during breathing. 1 Weaver T.E. Conkright J.J. Function of surfactant proteins B and C. Annu. Rev. Physiol. 2001; 63: 555-578 Crossref PubMed Scopus (316) Google Scholar SP-B deficiency results from autosomal recessive loss-of-function mutation(s) in the SFTPB gene. Infants born with SP-B deficiency experience severe breathing difficulties, leading to fatal respiratory distress within the first few months of life. 2 Nogee L.M. Wert S.E. Proffit S.A. Hull W.M.
