Possible Roles of Reg Family Proteins in Pancreatic Islet Cell Growth
1 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Reg proteins constitute a conserved family in human and rodents; their production in the pancreas (including the islets of Langerhans) is induced upon beta-cell damage. While some members of the family (Reg1 and islet neogenesis-associated protein, i.e. INGAP) have been implicated in beta-cell replication and/or neogenesis, including from in vivo studies using transgenic and knockout mice; the roles of the other...
