Expressed in the tubular cells of the kidney. Most abundant protein in normal urine (at protein level). Synthesized exclusively in the kidney. Expressed exclusively by epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TALH) and of distal convoluted tubule lumen.
Apical cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Basolateral cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Cell projection, cilium membrane. Only a small fraction sorts to the basolateral pole of tubular epithelial cells compared to apical localization (PubMed:22776760). Secreted into urine after cleavage (PubMed:18375198, PubMed:26811476). Colocalizes with NPHP1 and KIF3A (PubMed:20172860).; [Uromodulin, secreted form]: Secreted. Detected in urine.
