signaling cytokine

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,granule
	intracellular,nuclear envelope

basic FUNCTION	involved in embryo implantation
	acting as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2
	can attenuate inflammation through regulation of macrophage behavior, suggesting that epithelial remodeling leading to reduced Clara cell secretory function is an important factor that increases the intensity of lung inflammation in chronic lung disease
	cells with SCGB1A1 promoter activity that expresses vascular endothelial growth factor participates in alveolar development
	its gene transfer may inhibit airway inflammation through suppressing the activation of NFKB1, which may provide us a new consideration in the therapy of airway inflammation
	negatively regulate inflammation, protecting pulmonary surfactant from degradation in the lung
