Improved immunoassay for the determination of surfactant protein A (SP-A) in human amniotic fluid.
Hiroshi Shimizu,Kenji Hosoda,Masahiko Mizumoto,Yoshio Kuroki,Hideki Sato,Kenji Kataoka,Masahiro Hagisawa,Seiichiro Fujimoto,Toyoaki Akino +8 more
TL;DR: The result indicated that the SP-A values obtained by the present immunoassay can be used for predicting the fetal lung maturity.

A 50-kDa variant form of human surfactant protein D
Robert J. Mason,L D Nielsen,Yoshio Kuroki,Eiji Matsuura,J H Freed,J H Freed,J M Shannon,J M Shannon +7 more
TL;DR: The 50 kDa-form of surfactant protein D is produced by post-translational glycosylation and does not form higher ordered oligomers, but its precise physiological function remains to be determined.

Low Expression of αA-Crystallins and Rhodopsin Kinase of Photoreceptors in Retinal Dystrophy Rat
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that decreased expression of alphaA-crystallins and RK in RCS rats, may have significant roles in the development of retinal dystrophy.

A single base mutation in the PRAT4A gene reveals differential interaction of PRAT4A with Toll-like receptors.
Takashi Kiyokawa,Sachiko Akashi-Takamura,Takuma Shibata,Fumi Matsumoto,Chiaki Nishitani,Yoshio Kuroki,Yasuyuki Seto,Kensuke Miyake +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a single-nucleotide change in the PRAT4A gene influences not only the strength of TLR responses but can also alter the relative activity of each TLR.

Pulmonary surfactant protein A-mediated uptake of phosphatidylcholine by alveolar type II cells
TL;DR: Subcellular fractionations of type II cells with radiolabeled SP-A and DPPC revealed that the sedimentation characteristics of cell-associated SP- a are different from those of DPPC, although a small broad peak of radiolabed SP -A was found in the lamellar body fraction.
