Introduction
UPK3A is a member of the uroplakin-3 family. Uroplakins (UP) which are transmembrane proteins are important components of the urothelium that pass the lipid bilayer once (UPII, UPIIIa, and UPIIIb) or four times (UPIa and UPIb; both members of the "tetraspanin" family). All hold great luminal/extracellular domains, but only UPIIIa and UPIIIb have significant cytoplasmic shares in their C-termini. UPK3A is an extremely specific and moderately sensitive immunohistochemical marker for primary and metastatic urothelial carcinomas. Alterations in this gene are related to renal adysplasia.
Description
UPK3A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 214 amino acids (19-207 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.1kDa.
UPK3A is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
UPK3A protein solution (0.25mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT and 20% glycerol.
