Production and Characterization of <i>Reg</i> Knockout Mice
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Reg (regenerating gene) was isolated as a gene specifically expressed in regenerating islets. We have demonstrated in vitro and in vivo that the exogenous addition of rat and human Reg gene products, Reg/REG proteins, induced beta-cell replication via the Reg receptor and thereby ameliorated experimental diabetes. In the present study, we produced Reg knockout mice by homologous recombination. The Reg gene...
