The present invention describes the identification of a novel protein P-SCGB belonging to the family of uteroglobins/secretoglobins, and nucleic acid sequences encoding said protein. Said protein and nucleic add sequences are useful in the diagnosis and/or treatment of lung injuries and diseases, and of inflammation or immunomodulation- related disorders. More particularly said protein and nucleic add sequences are useful in the diagnosis and/or treatment of asthma. The new protein is specific for the lung and has a small size facilitating its transepithelial leakage from the lung into serum. It therefore has all the features to serve as a peripheral lung marker. Furthermore, its homology with members of the uteroglobin/secretoglobin family make it a potentially important protein that may be used as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool for many other pathologies.
