Function | Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in AUM-cytoskeleton interaction in terminally differentiated urothelial cells. It also contributes to the formation of urothelial glycocalyx which may play an important role in preventing bacterial adherence (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Subcellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Heterodimer formation with UPK1B is a prerequisite to exit out of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in ureter. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9846985}. |
