    Use the variable mark-active:

    mark-active is a variable defined in `C source code'.
    Its value is nil
    Local in buffer whole-line-or-region.el; global value is nil
    
      Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
    
    Documentation:
    Non-nil means the mark and region are currently active in this buffer.
    

    You might also want to check if mark === point, if it’s really a region you’re looking for:

    (if (and mark-active
        (/= (point) (mark)))
    

    If you want to write a function that requires a region be defined, you can use interactive, like so:

    (defun my-fn-that-requires-a-region (beg end)
      "Some documentation string mentioning BEG and END."
      (interactive "r")
      (message "%d / %d" beg end))
    

    If called interactively, mark must be set or an error is generated. Called programatically, any two values must be passed in; no validation of the parameters is done.
