Reg protein is stimulated during the regeneration of pancreatic islets. In human, there are four REG family genes, REG 1 alpha, REG 1 beta, REG-related sequence (RS) and HIP/PAP. These Reg-related proteins are classified into four subfamilies according to their amino-acid sequences, but they share a similar structure and physiological function.
