has gloss | eng: SCGB2A2 is a gene located on chromosome 11, at locus 11q13. It codes a protein named « secretoglobin, family 2A, member 2 », according to the official international nomenclature. Other names for the protein are : mammaglobin (MGB, MAM) , mammaglobin-1 (MGB1), precursor of mammaglobin-A (MGBA), uteroglobin 2 (UGB2). SCGB2A2 is member of the superfamily of secretoglobins, a group of small dimeric secreted and sometimes glycosylated proteins. Expressed mainly in mucosa, secretoglobins seems to be involved in cell signalling, immune response, chemotaxis, and could also serve as transporters for steroid hormones in humans . |

Dautres noms pour cette protéine sont: mammaglobine (MGB, MAM) , mammaglobine-1 (MGB1), précurseur de mammaglobine-A (MGBA), utéroglobine 2 (UGB2). SCGB2A2 est membre de la superfamille des secrétoglobines, un groupe de petites protéines dimériques secrétées et parfois glycosylées. Exprimées principalement dans les muqueuses, les secrétoglobines semblent être impliquées dans la signalisation cellulaire, la réponse immunitaire, la chimiotaxie et pourraient servir de transporteur pour les hormones stéroïdes chez lêtre humain . |
