This gene encodes a member of the uroplakin family, a group of transmembrane proteins that form complexes on the apical surface of the bladder epithelium. Mutations in this gene may be associated with renal adysplasia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].

Uroplakin-3a (UP3a) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UPK3A gene.
The protein is found in the urinary bladder and contributes to the distensibility of this organ. It is also found in the renal pelvis, ureter, and prostatic urethra.
