Recombinant Human TFF1 - 1 mg

Trefoil factor 1, also known as TFF1 is a small cysteine-rich secreted protein that is frequently expressed in breast tumors.1 It is also normally expressed in the stomach, and is found ectopically in gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders and in various carcinomas. It is involved in stomach ontogenesis and in the maintenance of the integrity of the mucosa, and may represent a pharmacological tool for prevention and healing of gastrointestinal ulcerations. TFF1 is a pleiotropic factor involved in mucin polymerization, cell motility, cell proliferation and/or differentiation, and possibly in the nervous system.2
