TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed, highest levels were found in brain and lung (PubMed:7972084). Isoform 5 is expressed at higher levels in astrocytomas as compared to normal brain tissue and expression increases strikingly with the severity of the tumor, being higher in the most aggressive tumors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18178553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7972084}.

Subcellular location [CC][Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7565688}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24753571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7565688}. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus (PubMed:7565688, PubMed:24753571). Nuclear import is mediated by TNPO1 (PubMed:24753571). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24753571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7565688}.;
