Tissue SpecificityExpressed in the digestive system. Expressed in the epidermis of skin keratinocytes. Strongly expressed in the granular layer. Expressed in the upper epidermis and eccrine sweat glands of the dermis and in the region of keratin filament bundles, which is more pronounced in upper epidermal layers and in the lower cornified layers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16799181, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22246504}.
