What Is the Expected TFF1 Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 9.2 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
9.2 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.
9.2 kDa calculatedUse as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signalDo not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.
💡Expected TFF1 appearancePlan around 9.2 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band9.2 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass9.2 kDa from UniProt P04155; retain as context.
Gel selection15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity checkCompare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A01391-4.
Why is my band missing or off?
SituationLikely causeNext action
9.2 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record.
Additional bandMay reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal.Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls.
Weak signalTarget abundance or transfer may be limiting.Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure.

Sample controls for TFF1 Western blot

🧪Use Small intestine as the first positive-control candidate and retain an orthogonal negative control.
Positive control: Small intestine (High)
Negative control: Adipose tissue (Not detected)
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Advanced TFF1 Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for TFF1, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?
Use 9.2 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A01391-4 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 9.2 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Small intestine, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use Adipose tissue as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.
Which gel should I use?
Use 15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for TFF1 Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A01391-4 be started?
Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.
Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?
No verified publication protocol was supplied; use only the deterministic recommended protocol.
