TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityDetected in bone marrow, in hematopoietic stem cells, in myeloid progenitor cells and in granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells (at protein level). Detected in bone marrow, liver, thymus, spleen and lymph node, and at low levels in kidney and pancreas. Highly expressed in T-cell leukemia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18490735, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8394751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8637232}.

Subcellular location [CC]Membrane;
Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Note=Constitutively activated mutant forms with internal tandem duplications are less efficiently transported to the cell surface and a significant proportion is retained in an immature form in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. The activated kinase is rapidly targeted for degradation.
