MeSH definition : C-type lectins that restrict growth of bacteria in the intestinal epithelia and have
bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. They also
regulate proliferation and differentiation of KERATINOCYTES following injury. Human
pancreatitis-associated protein-1 (Reg3a) is overexpressed by pancreatic ACINAR CELLS
in patients with CHRONIC PANCREATITIS. It is also highly expressed by pancreatic,
bladder, and gastrointestinal cancer cells and may serve as a diagnostic biomarker.;
