Background Information

Uroplakins are a group of urothelial differentiation-related membrane proteins. They are components of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM), which forms the apical plaques of mammalian urothelium and is believed to play a role in strengthening the urothelial apical surface thus preventing the cells from rupturing during bladder distention (PMID: 8175808). Uroplakin-2 (UPK2) is a single-pass type I membrane protein. UPK2 may play an important role in regulating the assembly of the AUM.
