Description
Anti-UPK2 Antibody (CAB10813)
The Uroplakin-2 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB10813) is a valuable tool for researchers studying uroplakin-2, a protein involved in the formation of urothelial plaques in the bladder. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications.Uroplakin-2 is an essential component of the urothelial barrier, helping to maintain the integrity of the bladder lining and prevent microbial infections. Dysregulation of uroplakin-2 expression has been linked to various urological disorders, making it a crucial target for investigation in both basic science and clinical research.
By detecting and quantifying uroplakin-2 in cell and tissue samples, researchers can gain insight into the mechanisms underlying bladder function and dysfunction. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies focused on bladder biology, urological diseases, and potential therapeutic interventions targeting uroplakin-2.

Background: | This gene encodes one of the proteins of the highly conserved urothelium-specific integral membrane proteins of the asymmetric unit membrane which forms urothelium apical plaques in mammals. The asymmetric unit membrane is believed to strengthen the urothelium by preventing cell rupture during bladder distention. The encoded protein is expressed in the peripheral blood of bladder cancer patients with transitional cell carcinomas. |
UniProt Protein Function: | UPK2: Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in regulating the assembly of the AUM. Belongs to the uroplakin-2 family. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Membrane protein, integral; Endoplasmic reticulum Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q23 Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; apical plasma membrane; integral to endoplasmic reticulum membrane Biological Process: epithelial cell differentiation; multicellular organismal development |
