Other Names | Trefoil factor 3, Intestinal trefoil factor, hITF, Polypeptide P1.B, hP1.B, TFF3, ITF, TFI |
Target Background | The Trefoil Factor peptides (TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3) are secreted in the gastrointestinal tract, and appear to play an important role in intestinal mucosal defense and repair. TFF-3 is expressed by goblet cells and in the uterus, and has also been shown to express in certain cancers, including colorectal, hepatocellular, and in biliary tumors. TFF3 may be useful as a molecular marker for certain types of cancer, but its role, if any, in tumorigenesis is unknown. TFF3 also promotes airway epithelial cell migration and differentiation. |
Name | TFF3 |
---|---|
Synonyms | ITF, TFI |
Function | Involved in the maintenance and repair of the intestinal mucosa. Promotes the mobility of epithelial cells in healing processes (motogen). |
Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Expressed in goblet cells of the intestines and colon (at protein level). Expressed by goblet cells of small and large intestinal epithelia and also by the uterus. Also expressed in the hypothalamus where it is detected in paraventricular, periventricular and supraoptic nuclei (at protein level). |
