Also known as SP-A2COLEC5
Summary
SFTPA2 (surfactant protein A2, HGNC:10799) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q22.3, encoding Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A2 (Q8IWL1). In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration.
This gene is one of several genes encoding pulmonary-surfactant associated proteins (SFTPA) located on chromosome 10. Mutations in this gene and a highly similar gene located nearby, which affect the highly conserved carbohydrate recognition domain, are associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The current version of the assembly displays only a single centromeric SFTPA gene pair rather than the two gene pairs shown in the previous assembly which were thought to have resulted from a duplication.

Disease relevance. Interstitial lung disease 2 (ILD2) [MIM:178500] A form of interstitial lung disease, a heterogeneous group of diseases affecting the distal part of the lung and characterized by a progressive remodeling of the alveolar interstitium. The disease spectrum ranges from idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or pneumonitis to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, that is associated with an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Clinical features of interstitial lung disease include dyspnea, clubbing of the fingers, and restrictive lung capacity. ILD2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Polymorphism. At least 6 alleles of SFTPA2 are known: 1A, 1A(0), 1A(1), 1A(2), 1A(3) and 1A(4). The sequence shown is that of allele 1A(2).
Miscellaneous. Pulmonary surfactant consists of 90% lipid and 10% protein. There are 4 surfactant-associated proteins: 2 collagenous, carbohydrate-binding glycoproteins (SP-A and SP-D) and 2 small hydrophobic proteins (SP-B and SP-C).
Similarity. Belongs to the SFTPA family.
