Gene Information

human ... UPK3B(105375355)

General description

UPK3B (uroplakin 3B) is one of the uroplakins, which form two-dimensional crystals in urothelial plaques. It is a 35kDa glycoprotein sharing high homology with UPKIII. It is a type I transmembrane protein, which is composed of extracellular juxtamembrane region of 19 amino acids. This gene is localized to human chromosome 7q11.23.

Uroplakin-3B precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

UPK3B (uroplakin 3B) is linked with urothelial differentiation, and its interaction with UPKIb in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential for early urothelial plaque assembly. This protein is either inactivated or under-expressed in mesothelioma lines, and functions as a marker of primary mesothelial cells.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
