Tissue SpecificityExpressed in prostate cancer and levels increase from the normal to the malignant state (at protein level). Expressed in all human cell types so far analyzed. The Tyr-176 phosphorylated form shows a significant increase in expression in breast cancers during the progressive stages i.e. normal to hyperplasia (ADH), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and lymph node metastatic (LNMM) stages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1718748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17932490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20333297}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P31750}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20333297}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20333297}. Note=Nucleus after activation by integrin-linked protein kinase 1 (ILK1). Nuclear translocation is enhanced by interaction with TCL1A. Phosphorylation on Tyr-176 by TNK2 results in its localization to the cell membrane where it is targeted for further phosphorylations on Thr-308 and Ser-473 leading to its activation and the activated form translocates to the nucleus. Colocalizes with WDFY2 in intracellular vesicles (PubMed:16792529). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16792529}.
