Trefoil Peptide Gene Expression in Gastrointestinal Epithelial Cells in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
Trefoil peptides are a growing group of proteins with interesting structural and functional properties. We have defined the pattern of trefoil peptide gene expression in the ulceration-associated cell lineage (UACL) and in the nearby mucosa in Crohn's disease. In the UACL, human spasmolytic polypeptide (hSP) mRNA is expressed in the acinar and proximal duct cells, while pS2 mRNA and peptide are found in the...
