Uteroglobin (UG); also known as Secretoglobin 1A member 1 (SCGB1A1); Blastokinin; Clara cell secretor protein (CCSP) or Clara cell-specific 10-kDa protein (CC10); is the founding member of the secretoglobin family of small; secreted; disulfide-bridged dimeric proteins found only in mammals. This protein is mainly expressed in lung; with anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory properties. Previous in vitro studies demonstrated that CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) are the major transcription factors for the regulation of SCGB1A1 gene expression; whereas FOXA1 had a minimum effect on the transcription. Uteroglobin is a multifunctional protein with antiinflammatory/immunomodulatory properties. Uteroglobin inhibits soluble phospholipase A(2) activity and binds and perhaps sequesters hydrophobic ligands such as progesterone; retinols; polychlorinated biphenyls; phospholipids; and prostaglandins. In addition to its antiinflammatory activities; Uteroglobin manifests antichemotactic; antiallergic; antitumorigenic; and embryonic growth-stimulatory activities. The tissue-specific expression of the Uteroglobin gene is regulated by several steroid hormones; although a nonsteroid hormone; prolactin; further augments its expression in the uterus. Based on its anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties; Uteroglobin is a potential drug target. The mechanism of Uteroglobin action is likely to be even more complex as it also functions via a putative receptor-mediated pathway.
