UniProt data
UniProt name: UPK3A_HUMAN (O75631)
Gene name: UPK3A; Synonyms=UPK3
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in AUM-cytoskeleton interaction in terminally differentiated urothelial cells. It also contributes to the formation of urothelial glycocalyx which may play an important role in preventing bacterial adherence (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Heterodimer formation with UPK1B is a prerequisite to exit out of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). {ECO:0000250}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 208-235, 28 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 287 AA
