Product Specs

Introduction
Uteroglobin, also known as SCGB1A1, is a protein belonging to the Secretoglobin family. This multifunctional protein exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic properties by binding to small hydrophobic molecules such as phospholipids and prostaglandins. It plays a role in various biological processes, including inflammation reduction, phospholipase A2 inhibition, and the sequestration of hydrophobic ligands. SCGB1A1 is primarily produced by Clara cells, the main non-ciliated, non-mucous secretory cells found in lung bronchioles, and other epithelia that interact with the external environment. In addition to capturing pro-inflammatory mediators and carcinogens, Uteroglobin is involved in inhibiting cell migration and invasion, platelet aggregation, and T cell differentiation. Defects in the SCGB1A1 gene are linked to an increased susceptibility to asthma.
Description
Recombinant SCGB1A1 from Rat, produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated homodimeric polypeptide chain. It consists of two units, each containing 77 amino acids, resulting in a molecular weight of 17.0 kDa.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
The SCGB1A1 protein was lyophilized from a concentrated solution in PBS at a pH of 7.4, which had been filtered through a 0.2 µm filter.
Solubility

To reconstitute the lyophilized SCGB1A1, it is recommended to dissolve it in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O at a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml. This solution can then be further diluted in other aqueous solutions.

Stability
Lyophilized SCGB1A1 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, it is advisable to store it in a desiccated state below -18°C. After reconstitution, SCGB1A1 should be stored at 4°C for no longer than 2-7 days. For long-term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity is determined to be greater than 97.0% using the following methods:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The biological activity is comparable to the standard, demonstrating full activity. The ED50, determined by the immobilized protein's capacity to facilitate the adhesion of A549 human lung carcinoma cells, is less than 5.0 µg/ml. This corresponds to a specific activity greater than 200 IU/mg.
Synonyms
Uteroglobin, Clara cell 17 kDa protein, Clara cell phospholipid-binding protein, CCPBP, Clara cells 10 kDa secretory protein, CC10, PCB-binding protein, Secretoglobin family 1A member 1, Scgb1a1, Ugb, Utg, UG, CC16, CCSP, PCB-BP.

Product Science Overview

Discovery and Nomenclature

Uteroglobin was first identified in the uterus, hence its name. It is also referred to by several other names, including Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP), Clara cell phospholipid-binding protein (CCPBP), and CC10 or CC16, based on its molecular weight .

Expression and Tissue Distribution

Uteroglobin is predominantly expressed in the Clara cells of the lungs . Clara cells are non-ciliated, secretory epithelial cells found in the bronchioles of the lungs. The protein is also found in other tissues, including the uterus, where it was initially discovered .

Biological Functions

Uteroglobin plays several crucial roles in the body:

  • Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Properties: It helps modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation .
  • Phospholipid Binding: Uteroglobin binds to phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes .
  • Regulation of Immune Response: It has been shown to regulate the activity of immune cells, contributing to its immunomodulatory effects .
Recombinant Uteroglobin

Recombinant uteroglobin is produced using genetic engineering techniques, where the gene encoding uteroglobin is inserted into a host organism, such as E. coli, to produce the protein in large quantities . This recombinant form retains the biological activity of the native protein and is used in various research and therapeutic applications.

Applications in Research and Medicine

Recombinant uteroglobin is used in studies investigating its role in inflammation, immune response, and lung function. It is also explored for its potential therapeutic applications in treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases .
