Tissuekidney
Tissue Specificity[Isoform 1]: Most strongly expressed in basolateral membranes of proximal renal tubular cells, liver and placenta. Also detected in lung, blood leukocytes, heart skeletal muscle and chondrocytes from articular cartilage. Detected in kidney membrane (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11991658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24409316}.;
[Isoform 2]: Only detected in the apical membranes of polarized renal tubular cells and placenta. Detected in kidney membrane (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24409316}.
