Tissueovary
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in breast cancers (at protein level) (PubMed:26565916). Isoform 1 and isoform 4 are expressed in HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines (at protein level) (PubMed:9557682). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are strongly expressed in HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines (PubMed:9557682). Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are weakly expressed in HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines (PubMed:9557682). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26565916, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9557682}.

Note=STK36 promotes translocation to the nucleus. In keratinocytes, it is sequestered in the cytoplasm by SUFU. In the absence of SUFU, it translocates to the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q0VGT2}.;
