| Description | UPK3A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 214 amino acids (19-207 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.1kDa.UPK3A is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Formulation | UPK3A protein solution (0.25mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT and 20% glycerol. |
| Protein Background | UPK3A is a member of the uroplakin-3 family. Uroplakins (UP) which are transmembrane proteins are important components of the urothelium that pass the lipid bilayer once (UPII, UPIIIa, and UPIIIb) or four times (UPIa and UPIb; both members of the “tetraspanin” family). All hold great luminal/extracellular domains, but only UPIIIa and UPIIIb have significant cytoplasmic shares in their C-termini. UPK3A is an extremely specific and moderately sensitive immunohistochemical marker for primary and metastatic urothelial carcinomas. Alterations in this gene are related to renal adysplasia. |
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Uroplakin 3A, UPK3, UPIII, Uroplakin III, UP3A. |
