SCGB3A2

In addition to regulating thyroid-specific expression of genes, thyroid transcription factor (TITF1; MIM 600635) controls the transcription of genes specifically expressed in lung, such as surfactant proteins (e.g., SFTPA1; MIM 178630) and uteroglobin (UGB; MIM 192020). Mice lacking Ttf1 die immediately after birth from respiratory failure caused by profoundly hypoplastic lungs (Kimura et al., 1996 [PubMed 8557195]). The UGRP1 gene encodes a uteroglobin-related protein and is a downstream target of TITF1.[supplied by OMIM

secretoglobin, family 3A, member 2

Secreted cytokine-like protein (PubMed:12847263).
Binds to the scavenger receptor MARCO (PubMed:12847263).
Can also bind to pathogens including the Gram-positive bacterium L.monocytogenes, the Gram-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, and yeast (PubMed:12847263).
Strongly inhibits phospholipase A2 (PLA2G1B) activity (PubMed:24213919).
Seems to have anti-inflammatory effects in respiratory epithelium (By similarity).
Also has anti-fibrotic activity in lung (PubMed:24213919).
May play a role in fetal lung development and maturation (PubMed:24213919).
Promotes branching morphogenesis during early stages of lung development (PubMed:24213919).
In the pituitary, may inhibit production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) (By similarity).
