TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in various tissues and cells such as in peripheral mononuclear cells and hormone-secreting pituitary cells. Expression in pancreatic lymph nodes of patients with type 1 diabetes is 20 times higher than in healthy controls. Highly expressed in fetal and adult brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19668219, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24726472}.

Subcellular location [CC][Isoform 1]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Cytoplasmic in non-mucinous colorectal carcinoma. When expressed alone, localized almost exclusively in the nucleus but, when expressed with isoform 4, nuclear expression decreases to 32% and cytoplasmic expression increases by 270%.;
[Isoform 2]: Secreted. Note=Secreted in some cell types.;
[Isoform 3]: Secreted. Note=Secreted in some cell types.;
[Isoform 4]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=When expressed alone, localizes mainly in the cytoplasm but, when expressed with isoform 1, nuclear localization is enhanced.
