Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10861246}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10861246}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, testis, adrenal gland and thymus, followed by pancreas, liver, heart and thymus. Weakly expressed in kidney, placenta, brain and lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10861246}.
