Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in lung, upper airways and nasopharyngeal regions, including trachea and nasal epithelium (at protein level). Specifically expressed in the secretory ducts and submucosal glands of tracheobronchial tissues (at protein level). Also expressed in the eye where it is detected in lacrimal gland, eyelid, conjunctiva and cornea (at protein level). Specifically localizes to epithelial cell layers in cornea, eyelid (basal epithelium) and conjunctiva (at protein level). Detected within acinar cells and ducts in the lacrimal and Meibomian glands (at protein level). In lung, shows highest expression in the trachea and progressive decrease from proximal (bronchial) to distal (bronchiolar) airways. Also expressed in lung cancers and some other types of cancer.
Post Translational Modifications
May be N-glycosylated.
Function
Lipid-binding protein which shows high specificity for the surfactant phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). Plays a role in the innate immune responses of the upper airways. Reduces the surface tension in secretions from airway epithelia and inhibits the formation of biofilm by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, such as P.aeruginosa and K.pneumoniae. Negatively regulates proteolytic cleavage of SCNN1G, an event that is required for activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and thereby contributes to airway surface liquid homeostasis and proper clearance of mucus. Plays a role in the airway inflammatory response after exposure to irritants. May attract macrophages and neutrophils.
