Subcellular location

Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Secreted, extracellular space, surface film.

Function

Function:
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.
