SCGB2A2
Description
The SCGB2A2 (secretoglobin family 2A member 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
Mammaglobin-A, also known as secretoglobin family 2A member 2, is a protein produced by the SCGB2A2 gene in humans. It belongs to the secretoglobin superfamily, which are small proteins that are secreted from cells and sometimes have sugar molecules attached. Secretoglobins are found mainly in mucous membranes and are thought to play roles in cell signaling, immune responses, attracting immune cells, and possibly transporting steroid hormones in humans. The expression of SCGB2A2 is very specific to breast tissue and is increasingly used to identify and detect breast cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body.
SCGB2A2, also known as Mammaglobin-A, is a member of the secretoglobin family, a group of small proteins secreted by cells. It is highly specific to mammary tissue and is involved in cell communication, immune responses, and attracting immune cells. It may also transport steroid hormones.
SCGB2A2 is also known as MGB1, PSBP1, UGB2.
