TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpression at low levels in tonsil, bone marrow, heart, placenta, lung, testis and colon but not in any hematopoietic cell lines. Not detected in adipose tissue. Expressed at higher levels in psoriatic plaques than in symptomless psoriatic skin or healthy control skin. Increased levels are not detected in inflamed joint tissue. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20300079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21242515}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16646978}. Note=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}.
