Reg3b - regenerating family member 3 beta

Enables growth factor binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-arginine; estrous cycle; and negative regulation of neuron death. Located in apical part of cell; extracellular space; and zymogen granule. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study acute pancreatitis and pneumonia. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy; type 2 diabetes mellitus; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to several human genes including REG3A (regenerating family member 3 alpha).
