MeSH definition : A 106 amino acid (12 kDa) trefoil factor that contains two trefoil domains and associates
with MUCIN-6. It is expressed in the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT by cells of BRUNNER GLANDS;
PYLORIC GLANDS and mucous neck cells. It inhibits GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY and GASTRIC
ACID secretion and may help maintain the structural integrity of gastric mucus.;
