It has a notable molecular mass of approximately 25 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in the apical membrane of umbrella cells located in the bladder and other parts of the urinary tract. The expression pattern suggests a role in urothelial differentiation and barrier formation contributing to the impermeability and structural integrity of the urothelium.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nUroplakin IIIB is an integral part of the urothelial plaque complex. This complex consists of other proteins including Uroplakin Ia Ib and Uroplakin III which work collectively to stabilize the urothelial membrane. Uroplakin IIIB plays an important role in maintaining the barrier function that prevents urine from penetrating deeper layers of tissue thereby protecting underlying tissues from the toxic properties of urine. Its structural contributions are essential in preserving the function and health of the urinary bladder epithelium.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nUroplakin IIIB participates in pathways related to epithelial cell differentiation and tight junction formation essential for urothelial homeostasis. It interacts with other uroplakins and is linked to pathways that involve cell adhesion mechanisms. These pathways are important for the establishment of tight junctions necessary for the barrier function of urothelial cells. The coordination and expression of Uroplakin Ia Ib and III in these processes highlight their relationship with Uroplakin IIIB in ensuring cellular cohesion and impermeability.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in Uroplakin IIIB expression are associated with conditions such as bladder cancer and interstitial cystitis. Dysfunction in the uroplakin protein complex can lead to compromised bladder function and structural abnormalities. In bladder cancer specifically changes in Uroplakin IIIB along with its related proteins like Uroplakin III have been observed and studied as potential biomarkers for tumorigenesis. Understanding these connections provides insights into disease mechanisms and possible therapeutic targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855421395113,"sku":"ab237778","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab237778","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
