Full name: uroplakin 3A

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: UP3A; UPIII; UPIIIA; UPK3

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the uroplakin family, a group of transmembrane proteins that form complexes on the apical surface of the bladder epithelium. Mutations in this gene may be associated with renal adysplasia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Expression: Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 9.1), urinary bladder (RPKM 5.3) and 4 other tissues

Gene size: 10926bp
