The regeneration (REG) family consists of secretory proteins involved in liver, pancreatic, gastric and intestinal cell proliferation or differentiation. Members of the REG family are divided into four subclasses, designated types I, II, III and IV, all of which share a common gene structure containing five introns and six exons. Members of the Reg family have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, tumorigenesis and the progression of cancer. Reg lll (regenerating islet-derived 3 gamma), also known as pancreatitis-associated protein 1B, PAP1B, or UNQ429, is a 175 amino acid secreted protein that is expressed almost exclusively in pancreas, with low levels of expression in testis. Reg lll functions as an antimicrobial protein involved in controlling bacterial proliferation and may be induced during acute pancreatitis. The gene encoding Reg lll maps to human chromosome 2, which houses over 1,400 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome.

Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan. Restricts bacterial colonization of the intestinal epithelial surface and consequently limits activation of adaptive immune responses by the microbiota. The uncleaved form has bacteriostatic activity, whereas the cleaved form has bactericidal activity against L.monocytogenes and methicillin-resistant S.aureus. Regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation after skin injury.

Tissue Specificity
Predominantly expressed in the small intestine, including Paneth cells (at protein level). Hardly detectable in the colon (at protein level). Highly expressed in the lung epithelium during methicillin-resistant S.aureus infection (at protein level). Skin
