Club cell secretory protein (CCSP), also known as secretoglobin 1A1 (gene name
SCGB1A1), is one of the most abundant proteins in the lung, primarily produced by club …

Blastokinin or uteroglobin (UG) is a steroid-inducible, evolutionarily conserved, secreted
protein that has been extensively studied from the standpoint of its structure and molecular …

Biomarkers associated with asthma aetiology and exacerbation have been sought to shed
light on this multifactorial disease. One candidate is the serum concentration of the Clara cell …

Human SCGB1A1 protein has been shown to be significantly reduced in BAL, sputum, and
serum from humans with asthma as compared with healthy individuals. However, the …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multifaceted condition that cannot be
fully described by the severity of airway obstruction. The limitations of spirometry and clinical …

Exercise is known to affect the airway epithelium through dehydration, followed by a release
of mediators, such as club cell (Clara) protein (CC16). The aim of this study was to follow the …

Elite swimmers have an increased risk of developing asthma, and exposure to chloramine is
believed to be an important trigger factor. The aim of the present study was to explore …

Background: Finnish Karelians have a higher prevalence of allergic disease than Russian
Karelians. As both populations are generally from the same ethnic group, the Karelian …

Background: Decreased levels of the anti‐inflammatory Clara Cell Protein 16 (CC16) are
found in intermittent allergic rhinitis (IAR) and asthma. In asthma this decrease has been …

Abstract Rationale: Uteroglobin-related protein 1 (UGRP1) and Clara cell protein (CC16),
members of the secretoglobin family, increasingly appear to play a role in airway …
