Update of the human secretoglobin (<it>SCGB</it>) gene superfamily and an example of 'evolutionary bloom' of androgen-binding protein genes within the mouse <it>Scgb </it>gene superfamily
<p>Abstract</p> <p>The secretoglobins (SCGBs) comprise a family of small, secreted proteins found in animals exclusively of mammalian lineage. There are 11 human <it>SCGB </it>genes and five pseudogenes. Interestingly, mice have 68 <it>Scgb </it>genes, four...
