Tissue SpecificityPredominantly expressed in the epithelium of seminal vesicles. Expressed in the proximal tubular epithelium of the kidney. Expressed in the superficial and more differentiated epidermal keratinocytes of the skin. Expressed in megakaryocytes and platelets. Expressed poorly in kidney tumor cells compared to non tumor kidney tissues. Expressed in spermatozoa. Present in very high concentration in seminal plasma. Present in high concentration in plasma, synovial and Graaf follicle fluids. Present in low concentration in breast milk and in amniotic fluids. Present in very low concentration in urine, cerebrospinal fluids, saliva and tears (at protein level). Strongly expressed in liver. Expressed in kidney, spleen, pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart, testes, ovary, interstitial Leydig cells, epididymal glands, seminal vesicles and prostate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1372913, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14696115, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15140131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17706750, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18467335, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9510955, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9556620}.

Subcellular location [CC]Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1725227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18467335, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7521127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8536714, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9510955, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9556620}. Note=Localized on the plasma membrane overlying the acrosomal head of spermatozoa of ependymal spermatozoa and ejaculated sperm. Localized at the equatorial segment of acrosome-reacted spermatozoa. Localized in alpha granules in resting platelets and on the external plasma membrane and within the surface-connected cannalicular system in activated platelets.
