High impact information on Upk1b

  • Both knockouts had elevated UPIb gene expression, suggesting that this is a general response to defective plaque assembly [1].
  • Using a sensitive approach that combines in-gel glycosidase and protease digestions, permethylation of released glycans, and mass spectrometry, we have elucidated for the first time the native glycoform structures of the mouse UPIa receptor and those of its non-binding homolog, UPIb, and have determined the glycosylation site occupancy [2].
  • Assignment of the Uroplakin 1b (Upk1b) gene to mouse chromosome 16 bands B5-C2 by in situ hybridization [3].
