High impact information on LOC398743

  • This protein is homologous to mammalian uroplakin III, a member of the uroplakin family proteins (UPs) that constitute asymmetric unit membranes in the mammalian urothelial tissues, thus termed Xenopus uroplakin III (xUPIII). xUPIII contains N-linked sugars and is highly expressed in Xenopus eggs, ovary, urinary tract, and kidney [1].
