Entrez ID 11045
Gene name Uroplakin 1A
Gene symbol UPK1A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
TSPAN21UP1AUPIAUPKA
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.12
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate

Protein name Uroplakin-1a (UP1a) (Tetraspanin-21) (Tspan-21) (Uroplakin Ia) (UPIa) (UPKa)
Protein function Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in normal bladder epithelial physiology, possibly in regulating membrane perme

Accession ID Position in sequence Description Type
PF00335 Tetraspanin 16 → 258 Tetraspanin family Family
Tissue specificity TISSUE SPECIFICITY: High expression restricted to ureteric urothelium (most superficial cells); low expression in prostate. Expression in normal urothelial cells is lost in culture. Some expression in tumor cell lines derived from urothelial malignancies.
