Introduction
Uroplakin 2 (UPK2) is one of the proteins of the highly urothelium-specific integral membrane proteins of the asymmetric unit membrane which forms urothelium apical plaques in mammals. The asymmetric unit membrane is thought to strengthen the urothelium by preventing cell rupture during bladder distention. The UPK2 protein is expressed in the peripheral blood of bladder cancer patients with transitional cell carcinomas.
Description
UPK2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids (26-155 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 16.2kDa.
UPK2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
