TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
highly mRNA expression in brains with Alzheimer's disease (de la Monte 1990)
constitutional     --other  
expressed in Barrett's esophagus (Chinuki 2008)
constitutional     --over

constitutional     --over  
substantially increased in the inflamed colorectal tissues of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients
tumoral     --low  
in Gastric Cancer
tumoral     --over  
in bladder cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal samples, associated with shorter recurrence times and poor survival

Marker
  • REG1A protein levels can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of Celiac disease
  • can be used as a marker of recurrence and prognosis in bladder cancer
  • is a potential biomarker for ER stressed pancreatic beta cells, as in the case of Wolfram syndrome
  • REG1A levels could be a novel biomarker for assessment of renal function in pregnant women
  • potential use of REG1A as a sepsis biomarker
  • Therapy target

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Reg1 is significantly upregulated in the liver of the 2-AAF/PH rat model, accompanied by the formation of bile ductules during liver regeneration
