The regenerating islet-derived (REG) gene family encodes a group of proteins highly expressed in several human pathologies, many of which are associated with epithelial inflammation. All human family members, namely REG1A, REG1B, REG3A and REG4, are closely related in genomic sequence and all are part of the c-type lectin superfamily. REGs are highly expressed during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related colonic inflammation and the in vivo expression pattern of REG1A and REG4 has been locali ...[more]
