Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain, skeletal muscle, kidney, colon, adrenal gland, prostate, and placenta. Weakly or not expressed in heart, thymus, spleen, liver, small intestine, bone marrow, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes. Overexpressed in some colon and lung tumors. In skin, it is localized within the epidermis and particularly in basal keratocytes. Not detected in epidermal melanocytes and dermal fibroblasts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12668616, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12697302, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12789646, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14634021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17012746}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cell projection, ruffle membrane;
Peripheral membrane protein;
Cytoplasmic side. Note=Constituent of focal adhesions. Localized at the basal aspect of skin keratinocytes, close to the cell membrane. Colocalizes with filamentous actin. Upon TGFB1 treatment, it localizes to membrane ruffles.
