초록

In this study, we report the cloning of the porcine UPII genomic DNA, which contains a putative full-length open reading frame encoding the UPII protein. A comparison of the porcine UPII gene coding sequence with the previously published mouse UPII sequence demonstrates that only the exon sequences are partially conserved. Northern and immunohistochemical analyses show that the porcine UPII gene is expressed only in the urothelium and that the protein specifically localizes to urothelial superficial cells. (omitted)
