TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, liver, testis and heart. Detected at slightly lower levels in placenta and brain (at protein level). Detected in astrocytes, Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, spermatids and spermatozoa. Expressed by pancreatic islets at higher levels than surrounding exocrine tissues (PubMed:22611253). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14579415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14662519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14705119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22611253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9070310}.

Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:31536960}. Note=Under normal conditions, located predominantly in the cytoplasm and, to a lesser extent, in the nucleus and mitochondrion. Translocates to the mitochondrion and subsequently to the nucleus in response to oxidative stress and exerts an increased cytoprotective effect against oxidative damage (PubMed:18711745). Detected in tau inclusions in brains from neurodegenerative disease patients (PubMed:14705119). Membrane raft localization in astrocytes and neuronal cells requires palmitoylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14705119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18711745}.
