REG1A wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human REG1A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2p12 and is approximately 3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes lithostathine-1-alpha protein, may play a role in the modulation of the proliferation of both islet cells and neurons. Gene expression may be associated with both diabetogenesis and pancreatic lithogenesis.
