Other Names | Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha, REG-3-alpha, Hepatointestinal pancreatic protein, HIP/PAP, Human proislet peptide, Pancreatitis-associated protein 1, Regenerating islet-derived protein III-alpha, Reg III-alpha, Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha 165 kDa form, Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha 15 kDa form, REG3A, HIP, PAP, PAP1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP9210a was selected from the N-term region of human REG3A. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | REG3A (HGNC:8601) |

Function | [Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha 15 kDa form]: Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan (PubMed:16931762). Binds membrane phospholipids and kills bacteria by forming a hexameric membrane-permeabilizing oligomeric pore (PubMed:24256734). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Note=Found in the apical region of pancreatic acinar cells |
Tissue Location | Expressed by keratinocytes (PubMed:27830702). Highly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes of psoriasis patients (at protein level) (PubMed:22727489). Constitutively expressed in intestine. Low expression is found in healthy pancreas. Overexpressed during the acute phase of pancreatitis and in some patients with chronic pancreatitis (PubMed:1469087). |

Background
REG3A encodes a pancreatic secretory protein that may be involved in cell proliferation or differentiation. It has similarity to the C-type lectin superfamily. The enhanced expression of this protein is observed during pancreatic inflammation and liver carcinogenesis.
