Tissue SpecificityExpressed in monocytes, basophils, B-cells, umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and B-lymphoblastoid cells. Lower expression detected in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. In the brain, detected in endothelial cells and capillaries, and in mature neurons of the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Expressed in tubular formation in the kidney. Highly expressed in astroglial tumor endothelial, microglial and glioma cells. Expressed at low levels in normal CD34+ progenitor cells, but at very high levels in several myeloid malignant cell lines. Expressed in breast carcinomas but not in normal breast tissue (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16107333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16455976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19641136, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20388803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20887389, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21655198}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:31211835};
Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Early endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22457824}. Recycling endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22457824}. Note=Predominantly localizes to endocytic vesicles, and upon stimulation by the ligand is internalized via clathrin-coated pits in a beta-arrestin-dependent manner. Once internalized, the ligand dissociates from the receptor, and is targeted to degradation while the receptor is recycled back to the cell membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22457824}.
