Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Uteroglobin, is also known as secretoglobin family 1A member 1 (SCGB1A1), club-cell-specific 10 kD protein (CC10), and Clara cell specific protein (CC16). It is a member of the secretoglobin family of small, secreted, disulfide-bridged dimeric proteins.  Uteroglobin functions as an immunosuppressant and plays an important protective role as an anti-inflammatory agent in the lung.  Studies found that Its levels were significantly lower in serum samples of smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
