Protein Function
Calcium-independent lectin displaying mannose-binding specificity and able to maintain carbohydrate recognition activity in an acidic environment. May be involved in inflammatory and metaplastic responses of the gastrointestinal epithelium. .
Background
Regenerating islet-derived protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REG4 gene. It is mapped to 1p12. REG-4 gene contains 6 exons and that the exon structure is preserved among members of the REG gene family. This gene is able to maintain carbohydrate recognition activity in an acidic environment. REG-4 expression was significantly upregulated by inflammation and tissue injury associated with active Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, and most of the colorectal tumors overexpressing REG-4 are mucinous tumors or neuroendocrine tumors.

Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, ileocecum, appendix, descending colon, pancreas and small intestine. Weakly expressed in normal colon and stomach. Strongly expressed in most colorectal tumors than in normal colon. Preferentially expressed in mucinous tumors and in some cases neuro-endocrine tumors. Expressed in mucus-secreting cells and enterocyte-like cells. In small intestine expressed at the basal perinuclear zone of goblet cells. .
