Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val33 of human TFF1/pS2 protein.
Background
The trefoil factor (TFF) family of proteins (TFF1/pS2, TFF2, and TFF3) are a group of highly conserved, secreted polypeptides that are expressed by mucus-secreting cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Within the gastrointestinal tract, TFFs display both common and distinct expression patterns (1). Collectively, the TFF family of proteins play a prominant role in the protection and repair of the mucous epithelia lining the gastrointestinal tract through their interactions with mucins (2). TFFs have been shown to regulate a number of cellular processes such as migration, apoptosis, and proliferation. In humans, dysregulated expression of TFFs has been observed in inflammatory bowel diseases as well as tumors of the breast, colon, lung, and stomach (2).
TFF1/pS2 is a gastric peptide that is highly expressed by mucosal goblet cells of the stomach, where it is thought to play a role in maintaining the integrity of the epithelial layer of the mucosa through the regulation of cell-cell adhesion and cell migration (2,3). Research studies have shown that TFF1 functions as a tumor suppressor in the stomach as its expression is frequently lost in gastric carcinomas, largely due to promoter hypermethylation (4-8). Research studies have also demonstrated that TFF1 is a transcriptional target of estrogen receptor-α and that TFF1 expression in breast carcinoma may be used as a predictive biomarker for response to anti-estrogen therapy (9,10).
