The Uroplakin 1B protein, a terminal differentiation product of the urothelial asymmetric unit membrane on the bladder apical surface, is in the tetraspan family of proteins. UPK1B localizes to human 3q13.3 arrow right q21 and cattle chromosome 1. Mouse Upk1b is syntenic with a number of genes in th...
