TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Highest levels in kidney and liver. In the brain, high levels found in the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta, as well as in the neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. Also highly expressed in the spinal cord. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10640617, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14970196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15147511}.

Subcellular location [CC]Endoplasmic reticulum lumen {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29053766}. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14970196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29053766};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cell projection, growth cone {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Upon oxidative stress, redistributes to protusions from the cell surface (By similarity). Peripherally associated with the inner face of the ER membrane, probably mediated by the interaction with TOR1AIP1. The association with nucleus membrane is mediated by the interaction with TOR1AIP2. {ECO:0000250}.
