Tissue SpecificityExpressed in antigen-presenting cells, like peripheral blood leukocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) (at protein level) (PubMed:21930792). Highly expressed in lymph nodes and spleen. Expressed in antigen-presenting cells (PubMed:21930792). Faintly expressed in the majority of nonimmune system tissues (PubMed:21930792). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000305};
Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792};
Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU41}. Cell projection, ruffle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU41}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU41}. Note=Together with MHC-II, associates with lipid-enriched microdomains called tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs) (PubMed:21930792). Rapidly translocates into immunological synapse (IS) at cell-cell contacts between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells (PubMed:21930792). Colocalized with tetraspanins CD37, CD53, and CD81 at the uropod (PubMed:21930792). Present at regions of cell-cell contacts but also at the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:21930792). Localizes to phagosomes in dendritic cells after exposure to particulate beta-glucan (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UU41, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}.
