Tissuekidney
Tissue SpecificityMainly expressed in kidney. Localized at the luminal membrane and basolateral membrane of kidney distal tubule and proximal tubules. To a lower extent, expressed in neurons of the cerebral cortex and in various subcortical nuclei (at protein levels). Also detected in secretory phase endometrium;
in scattered cells in the stroma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11912245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17393420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9260930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9687576}.
