Abstract
Reg, first isolated from a rat regenerating islet cDNA library, is expressed in regenerating islet beta-cells. Recently, it has been revealed that Reg and Reg-related genes constitute a multigene family, the Reg family. In human, the four REG family genes, i.e., REG 1 alpha, REG 1 beta, REG-related sequence (RS) and HIP/PAP, have so far been isolated. In this study, we analyzed YAC clones containing the four genes and performed two-color FISH to determine the map order of the genes. The human REG family genes are tandemly ordered in the 95-kbp DNA region of chromosome 2p12 as follows: 2cen-HIP/PAP-RS-REG I alpha-REG I beta-ptel.Entities:
