TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed in both adult and fetal tissues (PubMed:12101424, PubMed:23958951). Highest levels of expression observed in fetal thymus and kidney and in adult hematopoietic tissues, jejunum and cerebellum (PubMed:12101424, PubMed:23958951). Isoform NKp44L: Not detected on circulating cells from healthy individuals, but is expressed on a large panel of tumor and transformed cells (PubMed:23958951). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12101424, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23958951}.

Subcellular location [CC]Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23798402}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23798402}. Nucleus speckle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718661}. Note=Absent from the nucleolus (PubMed:14718661). Localizes to chromosome during interphase and to centrosomes during mitosis (PubMed:23798402). Dissociation from mitotic chromosome is likely due to histone H3 phosphorylation on 'Thr-3' and 'Thr-6' (PubMed:23798402). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718661, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23798402}.;
