| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in lung, upper airways and nasopharyngeal regions, including trachea and nasal epithelium (at protein level) (PubMed:11018263, PubMed:11251963, PubMed:12409287, PubMed:11425234, PubMed:26559477). Specifically expressed in the secretory ducts and submucosal glands of tracheobronchial tissues (at protein level) (PubMed:12409287, PubMed:11425234). Also expressed in the eye where it is detected in lacrimal gland, eyelid, conjunctiva and cornea (at protein level) (PubMed:26559477). Specifically localizes to epithelial cell layers in cornea, eyelid (basal epithelium) and conjunctiva (at protein level) (PubMed:26559477). Detected within acinar cells and ducts in the lacrimal and Meibomian glands (at protein level) (PubMed:26559477). In lung, shows highest expression in the trachea and progressive decrease from proximal (bronchial) to distal (bronchiolar) airways (PubMed:12409287). Also expressed in lung cancers and some other types of cancer (PubMed:11251963). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11018263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11251963, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11425234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12409287, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26559477}. |
