Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SFTPC gene.[5][6][7]

It is a membrane protein which manufactures surfactant.

Clinical significance

It is associated with Surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2.

Humans and animals born lacking SP-C tend to develop progressive interstitial pneumonitis.
