TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in glomeruli, podocytes of the glomerular capillary loops, and parietal glomerular epithelial cells in the kidney (at protein level) (PubMed:29473663, PubMed:27942854). Expressed in retina, fetal eye and brain (PubMed:15851977). Also expressed in kidney, RPE/choroid, and at low levels in lung, placenta, and heart (PubMed:15851977). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15851977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27942854, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29473663}.

Subcellular location [CC][Isoform 1]: Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80YA8};
Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80YA8}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80YA8}. Note=O-glucosylation is required for localization at the apical plasma membrane (By similarity). Distributed in a complex anisotropic pattern on apical cell edges: the level of CRB2 on a cell edge is inversely correlated with the level of MYH10/myosin-IIB (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80YA8}.;
[Isoform 2]: Secreted {ECO:0000255}.
