Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24130902}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99KQ4}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21741723}. Note=Under non-inflammatory conditions, visfatin predominantly exhibits a granular pattern within the nucleus. Secreted by endothelial cells upon IL-1beta stimulation. Abundantly secreted in milk, reaching 100-fold higher concentrations compared to maternal serum. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21741723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24130902}.
