Predicted to enable several functions, including growth factor activity; identical protein binding activity; and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in several processes, including pancreas regeneration; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and type B pancreatic c
ell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including esophagus; lung; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including REG1A (regenerating family member 1 alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Acts upstream of or within myelination and suckling behavior. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several str
uctures, including gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and mesenteric adipose tissue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
