CC16 (Clara Cell Protein 16) is a research area focused on studying and understanding the role of a protein called Clara Cell Protein 16 in various biological processes. This protein is primarily found in the respiratory tract and is produced by Clara cells, which are a type of epithelial cell found in the lung. Research in this area often focuses on the role of CC16 in lung health and disease, including respiratory infections, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, CC16 is also being investigated as a potential biomarker for lung damage and inflammation. Studies in this field aim to uncover the mechanisms by which CC16 functions in the respiratory tract and its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.
