Sequence: | Glu 22- Phe 80 |
Accession: | Q07654 |
Storage: | Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping: | This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs. |
Formulation: | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual. |
Reconstitution: | Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information. |
Background: | Trefoil Factor 3 (TFF3) is one of three trefoil peptides secreted by epithelial cells that line mucus membranes. Trefoils contribute to protection and repair of the gastrointestinal tract. TFF3 is secreted by mucus-producing goblet cells in the large and small intestines and lower respiratory tract. It is mainly active as a disulfide-linked homodimer. The mature 59 aa, 6.5 kDa human TFF3 contains one trefoil structure formed by intramolecular disulfides and shows 76% aa identity with mouse TFF3. |
