Popis: Glycoprotein-2 (GP-2) can protect the intestinal epithelial barrier from bacteria and is associated with protection against Crohn’s disease. Here, the authors show pancreatic GP-2 is the source of the intestine’s luminal GP-2 that binds bacteria and prevents them from attaching to the epithelium, also limiting pathology in a DSS colitis mouse model.
