Uroplakin-3a(UP3a) is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the UPK3Agene.[5][6]
UP3a is found in the inner membrane of the
urinary bladder and contributes to the strength of that membrane and to the membrane's ability to stretch when the bladder is full.[7] It is also found in the
renal pelvis,
ureter, and
prostatic urethra.
