Summary
REG3A (regenerating family member 3 alpha, HGNC:8601) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p12, encoding Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha (Q06141). Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan.
This gene encodes a pancreatic secretory protein that may be involved in cell proliferation or differentiation. It has similarity to the C-type lectin superfamily. The enhanced expression of this gene is observed during pancreatic inflammation and liver carcinogenesis. The mature protein also functions as an antimicrobial protein with antibacterial activity. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.

Function. Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan. Binds membrane phospholipids and kills bacteria by forming a hexameric membrane-permeabilizing oligomeric pore. Acts as a hormone in response to different stimuli like anti-inflammatory signals, such as IL17A, or gut microbiome. Secreted by different cell types to activate its receptor EXTL3 and induce cell specific signaling pathways. Induced by IL17A in keratinocytes, regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation after skin injury via activation of EXTL3-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. In parallel, inhibits skin inflammation through the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and TNF. In pancreas, is able to permealize beta-cells membrane and stimulate their proliferation. Has bacteriostatic activity.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a hexameric membrane-permeabilizing oligomeric pore on membrane phospholipids. The hexamer is formed by three dimers related by helical symmetry. Forms filaments, filamentation traps pore complexes and limits damage to host cells. Interacts with EXTL3.
Subcellular location. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Expressed by keratinocytes. Highly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes of psoriasis patients (at protein level). Constitutively expressed in intestine. Low expression is found in healthy pancreas. Overexpressed during the acute phase of pancreatitis and in some patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytic processing by trypsin removes an inhibitory N-terminal propeptide and is essential for peptidoglycan binding and antibacterial activity.
Activity regulation. Lipopolysaccharide inhibits pore-forming activity, explaining why is bactericidal for Gram-positive but not Gram-negative bacteria.
Domain organisation. The EPN motif is essential for recognition of the peptidoglycan carbohydrate backbone and for efficient bacterial killing with Glu-114 playing a key role in peptidoglycan binding and bactericidal activity.
Induction. Appears in pancreatic juice after induction of pancreatic inflammation. Induced by IL17A and IL33 during skin inflammation.
