Core Tip	Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are characterized by mucosal inflammation. The trefoil factor (TFF) family consists of three peptides, TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3, and all are widely distributed in the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. The TFFs facilitate a significant role not only in mucosal repair but also in protecting mucous epithelia from a variety of insults. This review describes the trefoil factor family and the role of the peptide family in relation to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and we summarize the current knowledge of their expression, possible function and potential pharmacological role in IBD.
