Gene:
secretoglobin, family 3A, member 2
Gene ID:
190430
Symbol:
SCGB3A2
Species:
1000
Description:
In addition to regulating thyroid-specific expression of genes, thyroid transcription factor (TITF1; MIM 600635) controls the transcription of genes specifically expressed in lung, such as surfactant proteins (e.g., SFTPA1; MIM 178630) and uteroglobin (UGB; MIM 192020). Mice lacking Ttf1 die immediately after birth from respiratory failure caused by profoundly hypoplastic lungs (Kimura et al., 1996). The UGRP1 gene encodes a uteroglobin-related protein and is a downstream target of TITF1.[supplied by OMIM]
