Uroplakin 2
uroplakin II, UPII, UPK2
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] (from

Lanzhou, China. In Tumour Biol, 2014
Bladder cancer-specific oncolytic adenovirus Ad/PSCAE/UPII/E1A, carrying E1A gene regulated by human Uroplakin II (UPII) promoter and prostate stem cell antigen enhancer (PSCAE), could kill bladder tumor cells preferentially.

A newly developed uroplakin II antibody with increased sensitivity in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

CONTEXT: Uroplakin II is a 15-kDa protein component of the urothelial plaques that enhance the permeability barrier and strength of the urothelium.
SNX31: a novel sorting nexin associated with the uroplakin-degrading multivesicular bodies in terminally differentiated urothelial cells.
Beijing, China. In Plos One, 2013
SNX31 can bind, on one hand, the PtdIns3P-enriched lipids via its N-terminal PX-domain, and, on the other hand, it binds uroplakins as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay, and by its reduced membrane association in uroplakin II-deficient urothelium.

Role and extent of lymphadenectomy during radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer.
Review
San Antonio, United States. In Curr Urol Rep, 2012
Proteins associated purely with epithelial tissue such as cytokeratin (CK)-19, CK-20, and uroplakin II have been observed in reportedly negative nodal specimens, which indicates that routine microscopic analysis of nodal tissue may miss small foci of metastatic cancer.

The bladder as a bioreactor: urothelium production and secretion of growth hormone into urine.
Impact
Beltsville, United States. In Nat Biotechnol, 1998
Using a 3.6-kb promoter of mouse uroplakin II gene, we have generated transgenic mice that express human growth hormone (hGH) in their bladder epithelium, resulting in its secretion into the urine at 100-500 ng/ml.
Formation of asymmetric unit membrane during urothelial differentiation.
Review
New York City, United States. In Mol Biol Rep, 1995
Studies of the protease sensitivity of the different subdomains of uroplakins and other considerations suggest that UPIa and UPIb have 4 transmembrane domains, while UPII and UPIII have only one transmembrane domain.
