ITF Antibody (15C6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects intestinal trefoil factor (ITF) in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. ITF plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelium, particularly during mucosal healing processes, which is vital for recovery from injury and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. ITF is predominantly expressed in the epithelial mucosal layer of the small intestine and colon, as well as in the brain and pituitary gland, highlighting its importance beyond just gastrointestinal health. The unique structure of ITF, characterized by three intrachain disulfide bonds that form the trefoil motif, is essential for stability and function, allowing resistance to proteolytic degradation and effectively promoting epithelial cell migration and proliferation in response to injury. ITF is upregulated in areas of epithelial damage and in various neoplastic conditions, making ITF a significant marker for assessing mucosal health and disease progression. The genes encoding ITF, along with other trefoil peptides, are located on human chromosome 21q22.3, indicating a potential genetic basis for their coordinated expression and function in mucosal defense mechanisms.
