Lithostathine-1-alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REG1A gene.This gene is a type I subclass member of the Reg gene family. The Reg gene family is a multigene family grouped into four subclasses types I II III and IV based on the primary structures of the encoded proteins. This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by the exocrine pancreas. It is associated with islet cell regeneration and diabetogenesis and may be involved in pancreatic lithogenesis.
