Tissueplacenta
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in skeletal muscle, placenta, spinal cord, and various region of brain. Expressed at the base of crypts in colonic and small mucosa stem cells. In premalignant cancer expression is not restricted to the cript base. Overexpressed in cancers of the ovary, colon and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12601349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16575208, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19030762}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cell membrane;
Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane;
Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Rapidly and constitutively internalized to the trans-Golgi network at steady state. Internalization to the trans-Golgi network may be the result of phosphorylation at Ser-861 and Ser-864;
however, the phosphorylation event has not been proven (PubMed:23439653). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23439653}.
