Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trefoil factor 1 is a protein encoded by the TFF1 gene in humans. The proteins are small secretory proteins characterized by three intra-chain disulfide bonds forming the trefoil motif or P-domain. It is abundantly expressed on mucosal surfaces and especially within the gastrointestinal tract. The protein belongs to highly conserved proteins that play an essential role in epithelial regeneration within the gastrointestinal tract. Its expression is strongly induced after mucosal injury and may function as a gastric tumor suppressor gene. It is expressed in various types of carcinomas including breast cancer. The gene contains an estrogen response element and its expression can be regulated by estrogen. Increased expression of this gene is found to be associated with tumor progression in some tumors and missense mutations in the gene have been detected in gastric cancer.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
