Abstract excerpt
Regenerating gene family members 1 (REG Ialpha) and 4 (REG IV) are overexpressed in a subset of gastric cancers. However, comparative characterization of the expression of these family proteins has remained unclear. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate not only the association between REG protein expression and mucin phenotype but also their significance as a prognostic marker for patients with gastric cancer. The...
