| Primary Identifier | MGI:98913 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 22269 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell differentiation. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is active in apical plasma membrane urothelial plaque. Is expressed in Meckel's cartilage; bladder; and skeleton. Orthologous to human UPK2 (uroplakin 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display abnormal urothelium that lacks umbrella cells, hydronephrosis, partial or complete ureter obstruction, increased vesicoureteral reflux, increased blood urea nitrogen levels, polyuria, and partial postnatal lethality with growth retardation.
