Highly expressed in the prostate, restricted to glandular and ductal epithelial cells. Also expressed in bladder, kidney, pancreas, lung, cervix, testis and ovary. Weak expression in a subset of pancreatic islet cells, squamous epithelia, the pilosebaceous unit, colonic neuroendocrine cells and skin adnexal structures. Isoform 2 also expressed in the sarcolemma of skeletal muscle. Levels of this cellular isoform decreased in prostate cancer.
[Isoform 1]: Secreted.; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Appears to shuttle between the cell membrane and intracellular vesicles. Colocalizes with FLOT1 at cell membrane and in intracellular vesicles (PubMed:17638863). Colocalizes with LAMP2 on the lysosome membrane (PubMed:17897319).
