Highly expressed in small intestine and colon namely in intestinal basal crypt epithelia and goblet cells, and appendix. Weakly expressed in uterus, testis and kidney. Expressed in the airways epithelium of both asthmatic and healthy patients. Expressed in the bronchial epithelium, especially in mucus- producing goblet cells. Expressed in normal turbinate mucosa and nasal polyp. Expressed in.
Secreted, extracellular space. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Extracellular side. Protein that remains attached to the plasma membrane appeared to be predominantly localized to microvilli.
