Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of UPK2 in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: 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.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
