TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityMost abundantly expressed in the thymus. Present in both B and T-lymphocytes. Highly expressed in HEK293T cells and in insulinomas. High levels also in spleen, ovary, muscle and lung, with highest levels in muscle. Lower levels found in brain, colon, heart, kidney, prostate, small intestine and stomach. Weak expression in liver and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14536081, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15454081, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16980408}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15589160}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15589160}. Note=Translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm on interaction of the phosphorylated form with 14-3-3 protein (PubMed:15454081). In response to cAMP levels and glucagon, relocated to the nucleus (PubMed:15454081). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15454081}.
