TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in muscle fibers accumulating in the costameres of myoplasm at the sarcolemma. Expressed in brain, muscle, kidney, lung and testis. Most tissues contain transcripts of multiple isoforms. Isoform 15: Only isoform to be detected in heart and liver and is also expressed in brain, testis and hepatoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1319059, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16000376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8541829}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531};
Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531}. Postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531}. Note=In muscle cells, sarcolemma localization requires the presence of ANK2, while localization to costameres requires the presence of ANK3. Localizes to neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). In adult muscle, NMJ localization depends upon ANK2 presence, but not in newborn animals. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531}.
