Estrogen Inducible Protein pS2 / TFF1 Antibody

It recognizes a polypeptide of 6.5kDa, identified as pS2 estrogen-regulated protein. pS2 is a trefoil peptide. Trefoil peptides are protease resistant molecules secreted throughout the gut that play a role in mucosal healing. These peptides contain three intra-chain disulfide bonds, forming the trefoil motif, or P-domain. pS2 is known to form dimers and this dimerization is thought to play a role in its protective and healing properties. About 60% of breast carcinomas are positive for pS2. Staining is cytoplasmic, often with localization to the Golgi apparatus. It is shown to be localized in normal...
