Progesterone-induced-blocking factor 1; Plays a role in ciliogenesis. [Isoform 4]: 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 naturakl killer cells (NK) activity exerts an anti-abortive effect (PubMed:14634107, PubMed:3863495, PubMed:12516630). 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).
