Uteroglobin/SCGB1A1 Luminex Assays

Uteroglobin is small, secreted protein of the secretoglobin (SCGBs) family. Uteroglobin is expressed by Clara cells, the non-ciliated, non-mucous secretory cells predominant in lung bronchioles, and by other epithelia that communicate with the external environment. Uteroglob in binds to phospholipids and to several cell types, inhibiting inflammation, migration and invasion. It has been reported to bind the lipocalin-1 receptor.
