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

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • proinflammatory state in mice homozygous for a null allele of the SCGB1A1 gene (SCGB1A1-/-) suggesting a central role for the nonciliated secretory cell in this process
