Expressed in all tissues tested with highest expression in kidney and pancreas. Weakly or not expressed in liver, skeletal muscle and testis.
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. In unactivated eosinophils, distributed around the cell periphery in the perimembranous region (PubMed:29601110). In activated eosinophils, relocates to the tip of the nucleopod, a membrane structure formed during activation when the nucleus moves to one end of the cell, and is also concentrated in membrane protrusions at the opposite end of the cell (PubMed:29601110). Localizes to the apical cell membrane in epithelial cells (PubMed:22006950).
