Reg2 - regenerating islet-derived 2

Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; peptidoglycan binding activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within myelination and suckling behavior. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and mesenteric adipose tissue. 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 2022]
