Tissue SpecificityExpressed in placenta, maternal decidua and fetal membranes. Within placenta, expressed in trophoblasts, stromal cells, villous endothelium, syncytiotrophoblast apical membrane and villous stroma. Within fetal membranes, expressed in amnion, chorioamniotic mesenchyma and chorion (at protein level). Expressed in cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle, neurons, thymus, kidney and hematopoietic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18824694, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19497882}.

Subcellular location [CC]Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617626}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}. Note=Can be secreted;
the secretion is dependent on protein unfolding and facilitated by the cargo receptor TMED10;
it results in protein translocation from the cytoplasm into the ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment) followed by vesicle entry and secretion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}.
