Description of Human TreFoil Factor-1 / TFF-1

TFF-1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2 x 60 amino acids which includes a 40 amino acid trefoil motif containing 3 conserved intramolecular disulfide bonds and having a total molecular mass of 13.2 kDa. TFF-1 Human Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biological Activity

The ED₅₀ as determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human MCF-7 cells is less than 10µg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >100 IU/mg.

Reconstitution

We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in sterile water to a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Do not vortex.

Stability

Lyophilized TFF1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TFF1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
