Mouse Pulmonary Surfatcant-associated Protein B, SP-B ELISA Kit, 96T In vitro Assessment May act as a palmitoyltransferase

May act as a palmitoyltransferase for RHOJ: able to autopalmitoylate and then transfer the palmitoyl group to RHOJ (PubMed: 30158707)

Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene

The protein functions in cap-independent translation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ARL (ADP-ribosylation factor-like) family of proteins

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2

Mouse Pulmonary Surfatcant-associated Protein B, SP-B ELISA Kit, 96T In vitro Assessment May act as a palmitoyltransferasePulmonary surfactant associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. SP B increases the collapse pressure of palmitic acid to nearly 70 millinewtons per meter.
