Function

The secreted form is a mediator of progesterone that by acting on the phospholipase A2 enzyme interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism, induces a Th2 biased immune response, and by controlling decidual natural killer cells (NK) activity exerts an anti-abortive effect. Increases the production of Th2-type cytokines by signaling via the JAK/STAT pathway. Activates STAT6 and inhibits STAT4 phosphorylation.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed at highest levels in testis. Moderate expression is detected in spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, small intestine, and colon. Expressed in the first trimester pregnancy decidua. Localized to extravillous cytotrophoblast (at protein level). Also found in syncytiotrophoblast and part of the villous cytotrophoblast. Isoform 1 is expressed in first trimester and term villous trophoblast; trophoblast cells can additionally express other isoforms. Overexpressed in solid tumors from stomach and uterus and in cells from ovary, cervical, breast, lymphoma and leukemia cancer
Disease Association: [May be associated with microcephaly] | Joubert syndrome 33 (JBTS33) : A form of Joubert syndrome, a disorder presenting with cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, hypotonia, neonatal breathing abnormalities and psychomotor delay. Neuroradiologically, it is characterized by cerebellar vermian hypoplasia/aplasia, thickened and reoriented superior cerebellar peduncles, and an abnormally large interpeduncular fossa, giving the appearance of a molar tooth on transaxial slices (molar tooth sign). Additional variable features include retinal dystrophy, renal disease, liver fibrosis, and polydactyly. JBTS33 inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Protein Biology

Function

The secreted form is a mediator of progesterone that by acting on the phospholipase A2 enzyme interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism, induces a Th2 biased immune response, and by controlling decidual natural killer cells (NK) activity exerts an anti-abortive effect (PubMed:12516630, PubMed:14634107, PubMed:3863495). Increases the production of Th2-type cytokines by signaling via the JAK/STAT pathway. Activates STAT6 and inhibits STAT4 phosphorylation. Signaling via a not identified receptor seems to implicate IL4R and a GPI-anchored protein (PubMed:16393965, PubMed:25218441)
