Background
Regenerating Islet-Derived Protein 1-α (REG1A) belongs to the Reg family of secreted proteins with a C-type lectic domain. REG1A is highly expressed levels in fetal and infant brains, much lower in adult brains. REG1A promotes the maintenance and growth of pancreatic islet cells and intestinal villi. In addition to, REG1A Might act as an inhibitor of spontaneous calcium carbonate precipitation and be associated with neuronal sprouting in brain, and with brain and pancreas regeneration.
